🚀 What is “Fast-Track Certification by Portfolio Review”?
⚡ Fast Track Certification Program
Built for Leaders Who’ve Already Put in the Work
At Top of Descent Leadership Institute, we recognize that true mastery doesn’t always come from a classroom — it’s earned through leadership, decision-making, and solving real problems in the field. That’s why our Fast Track Certification Program is designed for professionals who have already demonstrated excellence in action.
This program offers a streamlined path to certification through a portfolio review, allowing you to earn industry-recognized credentials without completing a full course, if you meet the eligibility criteria.
âś… Who Qualifies?
This path is built for those who have already done the work:
E-6 and above (military) or equivalent GS/civilian roles
First responders and career professionals with proven field experience
Individuals who have led projects, solved real-world problems, or trained others in the certification’s subject area
