Two credentials, two issuers

ToT from Luminary, GVC-ToT from ABIA

The ToT diploma prepares you for the ABIA Global Vocational Certification in Training of Trainers (GVC-ToT), but it does not by itself award it. GVC is a separate certification set and issued by ABIA. Luminary and ABIA share leadership, and we say so openly.
