Although the Community Tool Box (CTB) offers free content on cultural competency and other topics, there is no formal course or certificate available through the open source CTB. Several CTB resources maybe helpful in learning about cultural competence:

1. CTB Toolkit #9: Enhancing Cultural Competence /en/enhancing-cultural-competence
2. 27, 1: Understanding Culture and Diversity in Building Communities /en/table-of-contents/culture/cultural-competence/culture-and-diversity/main
3. CTB Chapter 27, Section 7: Building Culturally Competent Organizations /en/table-of-contents/culture/cultural-competence/culturally-competent-organizations/main

These CTB resources are free, and we encourage you to make good use of them in your efforts to enhance cultural competence.
Should you be interested in the CTB Online Curriculum which includes a variety of topics including cultural competence, the online training does offer a certificate for participation (for a fee). For more information: https://training.ctb.ku.edu/
