DSA Training Provider Recognition

​

 

Benefits of becoming a Design Sprint Alliance (DSA) Recognized Training Provider:

• You are listed on the Design Sprint Alliance website 

• You receive marketing materials and the ability to use the DSA logo in association with your courses

• You are among the first to receive updates

• You are recommended to clients who request training directly from DSA in your area

 

​

There are 3 main steps to becoming a DSA Recognized Training Provider:

1. Trainers are DSA Certified for the course you wish to get recognized for

2. You confirm that your training materials cover the DSA DSM outline

3. You sign an Agreement with Design Sprint Alliance and pay the recognition fee. 

​

​

Step 1: (Trainers) 

A qualification form shall be filled out by each trainer that the training provider wishes to have recognized. All trainers must be DSA certified before they can administer a DSM course. Train-The-Trainer courses are available and highly recommended as the trainer is the most important factor of this practical course. 

​

Step 2: (Materials)

There are official DSA Materials that can be licensed directly from Design Sprint Alliance. However, DSA training providers are not required to use these official materials to offer DSA courses. If you confirm that you have materials which encompass the full syllabus of the Certified Design Sprint Master (CDSM) course, you can use these as well. Design Sprint Alliance will run some quality checks and if the pass rates of a trainer’s students are less than average, the trainer may be required to attend a Train-The-Trainer session with a DSA Master Trainer. 

​

Step 3: (Agreement & Payment)
Design Sprint Alliance has a standards agreement which shall be signed by any party wishing to offer Design Sprint Alliance courses. 

​

The cost of being a recognized DSA Training Provider is:

• 500€ per year

• 900€ for 2 years

• 1,200€ for 3 years
