About the Program

The goal of this certificate program is to offer training and human resource development professionals a systematic method for developing competencies. The program allows for the immediate transfer of knowledge to the trainer's job roles and daily tasks. ASTD's 35 key competencies form the foundation for these intensive sessions. Other topics include evaluation, ethics, the learning organization, and the high-performance workplace. An added benefit of the program is the enormous networking opportunity available among participants.
