F. A. Q.

  • What are the prerequisites of attending GTD Training Course?

    There are none. This training is ideal for those new to or experienced with GTD.

  • What are the differences between in-person and live online training formats?

    Both training formats deliver the same outcome: you will have everything to become successful GTD enthusiast. In both formats you learn with Certified GTD Trainer.

    Only difference is in the delivery time-frame: in-person training takes 1 day; live online training happens in three 2,5-hour sessions delivered over 3 consecutive days.

  • How is attending the training better than just reading the book?

    Attending the training is the fastest way to become an GTD enthusiast. Reading the book will definitely help you get started. In fact, many people who come to the training have already read the book (though it is not required).

    While the book is great from a knowledge perspective, the training helps from a practical point of view. It is the difference between knowing something and actually doing it correctly.

  • Do others teach GTD?
