To become LiA Certified, you will need to attain 75 points, which can come from a variety of areas, with different point values, as listed below:
- National Modules (10 Points)
These hour long modules will be held at National Convention. They will be lead by National Staff and provide a broad look at a topic.
- Regional Modules (8 Points)
These 45-60 minute modules will be held at Regional Conferences or ICR events. They will be lead by National Staff or Certified Regional Facilitators. Regional modules may either go very in-depth on one particular topic that requires more time than a Local module will allow or provide a little more in-depth look at a broad topic.
- Local Modules (6 Points)

They will be led by local facilitators who have participated in a training course and received certification to instruct prior to facilitating local modules. Local modules explore a particular topic very in-depth.
