We have trained
55,000 community development professionals, whether their mission
is creating jobs or developing affordable housing for people in
need. We lead the nation in the quality and scope of training
in economic and housing development finance.
NDC's courses are intense and rigorous, with as many classroom hours as an average college course, plus homework and, in certification courses, a final examination administered on the final day of each class. You may attend the courses at your own pace but may not enroll in any course until you have met all prerequisites. Training participants work through real cases. Cases are actual development projects. Real world problems and obstacles
arise and are resolved.
We offer two certification programs: Economic Development Finance Professional (EDFP) Certification Program™ and Housing Development Finance Professional (HDFP) Certification Program™. We also offer courses through the NDC Academy™.
