Opportunities to practice and apply principles of designing learning activities using a current project from your organization.
Methods and tools for accelerating and simplifying designing learning.
Activities on how to effectively design non-learning solutions.

ASTD Certificate Programs are learning events and a certificate is awarded to participants upon successful completion of the program. No test is given and participants are not certified. Certification is a testing event that confirms that skills, knowledge, or competencies have been acquired.
