RE-ACCREDITATION - Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking
Remain accredited to deliver de Bono Thinking Systems Lateral Thinking.
Overview
To maintain accreditation for delivering de Bono Thinking Systems Lateral Thinking, trainers are required to recertify every two years. So you can:
- Continue to deliver the Lateral Thinking programme with official materials.
- Assure your delegates and clients that your training workshop meets the requirements of Edward de Bono.
- Prove you are an up-to-date trainer with a re-accreditation certificate.
- Remain on the de Bono register of training providers.
We recommend that any organisation hiring a Lateral Thinking trainer or facilitator request proof of expertise.
Who is it for?
This workshop is only available to existing or expired de Bono Lateral Thinking trainers.
If you are interested in developing your or a team's skills, please visit our Lateral Thinking workshop page. If you would like to become accredited for the first time, please visit our Lateral Thinking Accreditation page.
What's it all about?
Accreditation means that the trainer has demonstrated that they meet the minimum knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to deliver Lateral Thinking competently. This may be for business, not-for-profit or educational audiences.
Re-accreditation requires the trainer to demonstrate continual delivery of up-to-date knowledge and skills as a practitioner. These half-day workshops focus on:
- Updating the trainers on content and material changes.
- Investigating alternative ways to ensure knowledge transfer.
- Investigating challenges needing to be solved around delivery, content or materials.
These re-accreditation workshops are only delivered by de Bono's Master Trainers, who receive their updates directly from the de Bono Thinking Systems organisation.

Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
