The Forum on Education Abroad Announces Virtual 2020 Professional Certification Accelerated Residency

CARLISLE, Pa., May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Forum on Education Abroad announces the annual Professional Certification Accelerated Residency will take place virtually weekdays June 24 to July 1. 

The 2020 Virtual Accelerated Residency will offer six brand new Standards of Good Practice workshops based on the new 6th Edition of the Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad. Each weekday a new workshop will be offered live from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. EDT (UTC -4). No workshops will be offered over the weekend.

The Accelerated Residency provides Education Abroad Professionals with a unique opportunity to learn and collaborate with colleagues in the field. During this intensive residency, participants will focus on professional development and attend all Standards of Good Practice workshops that comprise the field's only Professional Certification Program. At the end of the Accelerated Residency, participants will then embark on completing the accompanying Standards Assignments over the next several months.

The Accelerated Residency is open to all colleagues who have been accepted into The Forum's Professional Certification Program.  The 2020 Accelerated Residency is a virtual experience reducing the investment required to participate as this modality eliminates travel, lodging, and meal costs.

The Forum on Education Abroad Vice President for Programs, Training and Services, Natalie A. Mello said: "The Virtual Accelerated Residency is a perfect opportunity for education abroad colleagues who have always wanted to focus on becoming fluent in the Standards but did not have the extra resources to do so."
