Distributed Management Course-My Experience I enrolled in the CiDM online course which was self-paced and video-based. It is obvious that Remote-How put a lot of thought and energy into designing the content and delivery of this course. The presenters definitely knew their stuff and their willingness to share it contributed to a sense of community within the remote space. In the end, I feel very fortunate that I have access to so many tips, and tricks, and insider info when it comes to managing remote teams. I'm sure this will give me a competitive edge when I manage future remote teams.

Certified in Distributed Management This is a very good course that brings in the voice and experience of tens of remote experts from well known remote companies. The segments in each module I found them to be relevant. The pace of the course was comfortable with my schedule. There is a lot of information and some segments are more dense than others. I loved the live sessions we had with a few of the presenters. It was also an opportunity to connect with classmates. I also enjoyed the monthly community calls. Kudos to the Remote-How team for having 2 sessions to help the global class. Learners should keep in mind that not all presenters are gifted speakers. They still demonstrate expertise in their area. Overall, CDM was a good learning experience.

Learn to effectively manage people who aren’t in the office. Whether it’s a totally remote setting or someone who is in the office a day a week, it’s a reality that we are moving to a remote working world. While managing people in the office can has its difficulties, doing it remotely is a whole new realm for most managers. Its difficult to manage people in an office, even more so if there are time zone, engagement or cultural differences to add to the mix. The certified remote manager is an in-depth look at creating a team, setting up communication channels, managing situations and people and keeping remote workers engaged. It is also relevant for a remote worker to understand the dynamics of the wider team and how to achieve communicate effectively. With video tutorials, eBooks, extra reading, assessments and checklists, there is a lot of information here to digest. Give yourself time to listen and learn. The experts have done it before. And they have it all spelled out to make successful remote worker management achievable.

Highly recommended! Able to apply what I've learned immediately Highly recommended! Joined the program with my colleagues from my departmental management team and we are able to implement a variety of processes and concepts presented through the coursework. It is awesome to be apart of a global network of distributed management professionals from around the globe. The content was engaging, networking is phenomenal and I look forward to taking part in subsequent course offerings.

This is an excellent course for anyone… This is an excellent course for anyone who is looking to grow their skills as a remote team leader. Most of the content is presented in video format with complementary activities and reading materials. They do a great job at presenting the challenges of managing distributed teams and how to adjust your skills accordingly. I especially enjoyed the sections on Digital Communication Rules as this is an area often overlooked and the cause of most breakdowns in remote teams.
