APTD Prep On Demand: Course Info
This comprehensive learning experience gives you everything you need to prepare for the Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD) certification exam. The APTD is the certification for talent development professionals in the early stages of their careers or whose roles and aspirations are focused on foundational areas in the field. Upon enrolling, this flexible and self-paced course gives you immediate access to content and resources for 12 months to ensure you can prepare right up to your exam date.
The course content draws from the Talent Development Capability Model™ and prepares you to prove your mastery by applying your knowledge on the exam. By developing short- and long-term goals and action items tied to exam preparation strategies, you’ll create an individual study plan that identifies what you need to focus on to achieve your goal of becoming APTD-certified.
The course uses a flexible approach that allows you to put your study plan into action by diving into the content you need most to learn. With a robust set of microlearning resources tailored for busy professionals, stories from experienced credential holders, and a community of fellow candidates, you will find the support you need to complete an end-to-end study path.
You’ll also get access to a full-length practice test, allowing you to fully explore the types of questions to expect on exam day. You will leave the course feeling confident to take the exam.
Please note that the exam is administered by the ATD Certification Institute. You must meet eligibility requirements to take the exam, and the cost of the exam fee is not included in this course.
NEW! The APTD Study Workbook is now included free of charge. Designed to support your knowledge and confidence throughout your preparation journey, the Study Workbook also provides a space for keeping detailed notes on all content identified in the APTD Detailed Content Outline.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Testimonials
"I chose ATD because I need to get certified [as an] APTD and I thought ATD was the best to help me! I got more than what I expected. [The course] opened my eyes to a new area that I really like (Learning Science). It helped me a lot with understanding adult learning and instructional design."
“Right away, as I began studying to become an APTD, I could apply the material to my work. Having a project to apply my studies to made all the difference. It made the material come alive.”
"The APTD On-Demand Course was the key driver in helping to prepare me for the APTD exam. Not only could I access it conveniently whenever and wherever I was, the workshop analyzed which areas I needed to focus on more. Without the workshop, I wouldn’t have been as prepared for the exam and the way the questions were worded."
