Did you know that we offer Real Colors Certification Training separate from Crossroads? If your agency could benefit from building common language, understanding each other better, and celebrating differences but isn't using NCTI's Crossroads programming, then Real Colors training might be the perfect option! A smaller time commitment and qualifies you to deliver everything within the Real Colors suite of solutions.
