Intercultural Communication and Diversity for Professionals: The ADF Masterclass is a comprehensive, self-paced training series created by DDRIOC and accredited by the Law Society of Ontario. It’s designed to help professionals build cultural competence, address systemic biases, and navigate diversity in personal and professional settings—particularly within dispute resolution contexts.

The ADF Masterclass is structured as one core program made up of six courses , each focused on a specific area of diversity, inclusion and intercultural communication. Each course is made up of several chapters, including video lessons, d ownloadable supplementary materials, a podcast segment with instructors and guest experts, and a chapter-ending quiz to reinforce learning. By completing all six courses, and the live virtual session with instructors, students earn the Accredited Diversity Facilitator™ (ADF) designation and certificate.

Once you’ve completed all 6 courses, we’ll contact you to arrange your live synchronous session as part of you completing the course and earning your A.D.F designation. You have 6 months to complete the sychronous session.
