This program is ideal for professionals who design or deliver training and want to adopt blended learning approaches.
ATD Education programs are designed primarily for learning professionals—trainers, instructional designers, and organizational development practitioners—but also greatly benefit anyone within an organization who is responsible for developing others, from managers to human resources specialists.
"I would recommend the Blended Learning Certificate Program to any training professional looking to break tradition and expand their organization's training program. The best part of this course was that it had a blended approach itself—so we could experience the effects first-hand!"
"The Blended Learning Certificate program incorporates such a wide range of topics and considerations that I feel it would be a benefit to training professionals in almost any position. The program has a very useful tie-in to thinking about the business and financial side of training delivery. I highly recommend this program!"
"My favorite takeaways were the demonstration of Bloom's taxonomy in blended programs and the blended learning design process. It's a very comprehensive program for those starting out with blended learning."
