From November 2015
One of the key elements that distinguishes BNI from other networking groups is the education and training it offers on how to be a better networker as well as improving business skills. From the beginning BNI requires new members to attend the basic Member Success Program (MSP). Statistics have proven that new members who attend within their first 30 days start seeing the benefits, i.e. more referrals and more business, much sooner. Why? Because MSP gives a new member the basic foundation they need to understand the fundamentals and the Why of BNI. In addition to MSP, BNI offers Advanced MSP classes. Check out BNI Academy for Advanced Member Success Program after you have completed the Basic Member Success Program.
In addition to BNI Academy, BNI offers webinars and podcasts for additional learning, which are offered online.
BNI also partners with some of the best trainers in the business, i.e. Brian Tracy, High Achievers Network, Training of Champions, Action Coach, del Fuego Companies (Fast Track Program), etc. for additional training and education.

The list of webinars can be found on BNIConnectGlobal.com listed under events. One that I highly recommend is held each month called 'Advanced Workshop.' Register in advance to attend. Each month provides a different topic.

Then there are all the books that are recommended:
- Networking Like a Pro
- 29% Solution
- 212 Degrees
- Room Full of Referrals
- The Networking Guru
- Masters of Success
- Money of the Table
- The World's Best Marketing Secret
- Truth or Delusion
and the list goes on and on.
Online Sites for more information and learning include:
BNI also offers the Mentor Program for new members. Again, because BNI wants every new member to receive everything they need to be successful. Even seasoned BNI members can benefit from this program. Ask your Chapter's Mentor Coordinator how to be a Mentor or a Mentee.
BNI believes in providing the training material and information to each and every member to become the very best networker and BNI member possible. It is up to the individual to take advantage of what is offered.

CEU credits are given for all of the offerings which I have listed. BNI recommends earning at least one CEU credit each week. One hour of learning = 1 CEU. Some offerings earn more CEU credits than others.
I encourage every BNI member to be a 'Life Long Learner.' Be thirsty for knowledge in this every changing evolving world.
