Teddy Burriss, of Burriss Consulting, is a LinkedIn strategist, trainer and coach. Teddy started the business in 2010 operating out of North Carolina in the USA to serve his global clients. When building the business, he decided he wanted to focus on the human-to-human engagement aspects of using LinkedIn rather than just its marketing and/or advertising aspects.

Teddy uses his Toastmaster, Sandler training, Dale Carnegie coaching, DDI leadership, facilitator and networking skills, and certified social media strategist experiences to lead people in the best uses of LinkedIn and other social media tools. He experiments with LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and other social networks on a regular basis so he can deliver these courses to you.

Are Alison courses accredited/recognised?

Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, is the process of continually developing or maintaining your professional skills. CPD helps individuals focus on how they can become a more competent and effective professional. Due to our rigorous publishing review process, courses on Alison are now being accredited by CPD UK, an independent organisation. Accredited CPD training means the learning activity has reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks, and the learning value has been scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality. This CPD Certification Service provides recognised independent CPD accreditation compatible with global CPD requirements. This means a certificate from a course on Alison can now be used as part of your CPD requirements (please check with your organisation’s guidelines). You can find out more about Alison accreditation here.

How much does cost to purchase a Certificate?

Users can pay a nominal fee to automatically download Digital Certificates or purchase paper or framed Certificates that are shipped via mail. For a more detailed list of the costs, visit the Shop page.

You don’t have to purchase a Certificate in order to certify. You can access your Learner Report showing that you have completed the course.
