How CGL and its Board of Advisors evolved
In 2010
A small group of learning professionals organised an International Conference on Learning and Thinking (ILAT). ILAT invited ten speakers from ten countries to come together in Kuala Lumpur on the tenth day of the tenth month (10/10/10). These speakers were professionals in various aspects of Learning – from Neuroscience, Culture, Coaching, Creativity in Learning, and the Facilitation of Group Learning. Several of them subsequently were invited to join CGL’s International Board of Advisors, of whom four were also contributors, in the first issue of CGL’s International Journal of Inter-disciplinary Learning (IJIL).
So, the idea to build CGL, from just a certification body into a global network, took off after ILAT. And now we have representatives in over thirty countries. And, as a result, CGL was constituted in the UK, as a ‘hub’ for the network and decided to become a virtual global network and a not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-partisan body that is egalitarian and non-hierarchical. CGL was then also registered as an Approved Learning Provider, with the UK Department of Business and Innovation Skills (BIS) and supported by the UK Department of Employment and Learning.
In 2017
CGL was acquired by the CREDO Trust and Foundation (registered in Ireland) as a fully autonomous division and retained its Board of Trustees. CREDO then hosted CGL’s International Secretariat.
Over the past 12 years, CGL has built up their Advisory Board.
In 2020
Oxbridge Institute of Professional Development (OIPD) acquired CGL to become its learning and development arm.
OIPD’s Board of Assessors merged with CGL Board of Advisors, thus creating a greatly enhanced assessment capacity. Now it is the International Board of Advisors & Assessors (IBAA)
