The Professional Skills Series is mostly targeted towards early career professionals, although is useful for all levels of professionals. It follows GCPD’s signature 8-Traits Methodology, highlighting the development of essential supporting skills for being successful in the protocol profession.

The Leader Strategy Series, on the other hand, is designed for senior protocol professionals and managers and specifically aims to develop the areas of interest to higher levels of the profession to include leadership, program management, visionary thinking, and more.

The Protocol Learning Suite is the first-of-its-kind continuous development platform designed to bring professional development into the everyday workplace of protocol professionals. Through short, targeted training, students will create consistent practices and habits while strengthening their capabilities, learning new concepts, and engaging with their peers.

Connected to PSS and LSS are Communities of Excellence where students can come together to discuss a wide-variety of topics to include course discussions, current challenges, new ideas, and more. Together, the Communities of Excellence create cutting edge think tanks where the brightest minds in protocol, the lifelong learners, work together to take the profession to new heights.

No need! If you want access to the ever-growing libraries of both series, you can simply become a member of LSS. The Leader Strategy Series contains all the content from both LSS and PSS. It’s the most comprehensive training available!

Our Enterprise Solution is exactly what you’re looking for! Simply reach out to us using the Enterprise Solution link and we’ll personally get you all set up. With our Enterprise Solution, you’ll automatically get five memberships of your choosing between PSS and LSS and the ability to add more as desired for the low price of $299. In addition, you’ll have access to your very own admin dashboard where you can manage those memberships as well as view analytics for all your users.

Depending upon which membership you signed up for, both courses have a pre-requisite course that will set you on the right path toward success in PLS. For PSS that’s the ‘Building Foundations’ course and in LSS that’s the ‘Building Leaders’ course. Sign up for that class first and then delve into your learning! It begins with lesson 1 which will include a video, a summary of the video in the Companion Guide, a Daily Micro-Practice Worksheet including all your daily practice exercises, and one or more bonus lessons or downloadable resources. Let the learning begin!

Each lesson lasts two weeks. For PSS, the Daily Micro-Practice Worksheet has ten days of short exercises for you to complete every workday as well as bonus materials if you want to get in even more work. This should be enough to fill the full two weeks.

For LSS, the Daily Micro-Practice Worksheets have five days of short exercises. The smaller amount allows for freedom to choose how to fill the extra five workdays. That can be with a complementary PSS course, through team learning sessions allowing the learner to mentor their team with the concepts at hand, etc.

Yes! Finishing four PSS courses makes you eligible for CPP™ certification in lieu of attending an in-person training course and the same for LSS courses and CPL™ certification. All other requirements for those certifications must still be met.

New lessons are added weekly. One week an LSS lesson is added, the next week a PSS lesson is added, and it continues on back and forth. This means that new content is available for PSS students every other week and for LSS students, since they have access to lessons from both memberships, new content is available weekly.

Yes! You can either switch your monthly membership to LSS or if you’ve already paid for an annual membership, you can reach out to us directly and we’ll get you a custom invoice to simply pay the price difference between the two.

Yes. Your course progress is automatically saved in your account. If you pause or cancel your membership, your progress remains stored. When you reactivate your subscription, you can pick up right where you left off, no need to restart any lessons.

Absolutely! Once you’ve completed a lesson, you can revisit it anytime while your membership is active. Many students find value in revisiting lessons periodically to reinforce concepts or re-download resources as they apply the material in new contexts.
