1What it is
A professional credential for those who work in training and staff development: training needs analysis, programme design, e-learning, measuring the impact of training and talent management. The association has a lower credential (APTD) for those starting out. It complements the Training of Trainers entry in this directory for people for whom training is a profession rather than a side activity.
2Who it suits
Training and development officers, designers of training programmes, and staff of university continuing education centres.
3What it requires
Experience in talent development counted in years and professional development hours, or the lower credential with less experience.
4How it is earned
Apply on the association's website, then sit an exam at an authorised centre or online with a proctor.
When a centre or body posts a course that prepares for it, we send you one email about it.
