The Evaluating Learning Impact Certificate Program is for professionals new to measurement and evaluation or anyone responsible for determining the impact of learning and performance improvement interventions. Individuals looking to strengthen and expand their organization’s evaluation efforts will also benefit.
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 have already begun to use some of the tools and forms from the class, and a few of them I've shared with the management team who have benefited from using them in their areas as well. I will be attending more certificate classes offered by ATD as I know first-hand how much of a worthwhile investment it is!"
"The most applicable course I’ve ever taken, and after only a month I’ve already begun to make changes in my organization using the techniques I learned."
"This was the most worthwhile course I've attended. Not only was the instructor extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but I was able to take away some quick wins that I could use on day one back at work and ideas that I could incorporate into our processes for successful long term evaluation."
