Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD)

Professional certification Human resources
Granted by رابطة تطوير المواهب Usual length Three to six months Level Advanced

The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What 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.

Who it suits

Training and development officers, designers of training programmes, and staff of university continuing education centres.

What it requires

Experience in talent development counted in years and professional development hours, or the lower credential with less experience.

How it is earned

Apply on the association's website, then sit an exam at an authorised centre or online with a proctor.
