This dynamic program introduces learning professionals to methods that deepen and enhance learning and foster application and further learning on the job. Participants will learn to use structured and guided classroom, online, and on-the-job experiences; individual reflection; and group sharing activities to bring the reality of the workplace into the classroom and prepare the learners to apply what they have learned.
Accelerated Learning uses music, the arts, games, discovery activities, experiments, simulations, and reflection, and team building activities to deepen and accelerate the learning process. Participants will learn to apply the methods and approaches of Accelerated Learning in the classroom, online, and on-the-job to enhance and deepen learning and make it relevant to the organization and its goals. Participants will also have the opportunity to work on the design of a learning program or module during the two days. The Accelerated Learning cycle will provide a template for design and facilitation that makes learning programs more efficient and effective.

Program Overview
Learn fast, retain more, and spend less by using Accelerated Learning techniques and approaches that deepen and enhance learning. This dynamic program introduces learning professionals to the techniques and methods of Accelerated Learning. These techniques enable individuals to learn more effectively, retain more knowledge, apply the learning at work, and develop their hidden potential. Participants will be able to apply the Accelerated Learning cycle to design and facilitate programs that get real results.
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. Please click here for more information on the ASTD Certification Institute's credential, the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance™ (CPLP™).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
