As an employer you know the importance of ensuring employees keep their skills up to date. Professional certifications, such as the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) and the new Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD), validate knowledge and skills and demonstrate expertise.
The CPLP is a mark of distinction offered by the ATD Certification Institute. It is broad in scope and addresses a talent development professional’s knowledge in 10 areas of expertise, as defined by the ATD Competency Model.
