Watch our live information sessions about our Certificate in Personal Development.

This Personal Development Course is aimed at participants who are seeking to understand themselves more fully.

Perhaps you are interested in a professional training, or you want to become more fully the human being that you are and share your unique gifts with others either personally or/and professionally?

ICPPD believes that Personal Development is a lifelong process. It’s a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realise and maximise their potential. Personal Development is the conscious pursuit of personal growth by expanding self-awareness and knowledge and improving personal skills.

The aim of the course is

  • to develop participants’ self-esteem and self-confidence
  • to learn a way to communicate that enhance relationships
  • to explore ways of behaving respectfully towards oneself and others
  • to become more mindful and improve well-being
