Training Certificate
The Premier Train-the-Trainer Program.
This three-day workshop is a practical, how-to overview of the entire training function. It prepares new trainers with critical training skills and introduces seasoned practitioners to the latest techniques for delivering powerful training. This includes being introduced to the ASTD Competency Study which forms the foundation of the ASTD Training Certificate.
Audience
The program is great for new trainers, experience trainers who have not had formal education in training, or those needing a refresher to improve their classroom techniques and methods to transfer learning to work situations. Feedback from participants shows high ratings for student engagement, expert facilitation, and immediately applicable tools and techniques. On-site participants report gaining a common foundation and competency in training skills for their department.
Course Description
The ASTD Training Certificate content is practical and grounded in the real world, not just academic theory. ASTD uses all of the latest tools and research available to deliver training that delivers results on the job. The ASTD Training Certificate focuses on what happens before, during, and after you deliver training, and what to do if training is not the right solution.Through the hallmark ASTD Competency Study, we gathered input from more than 3,600 learning and development professionals to identify the competencies required by the successful practioners of tomorrow. The ASTD Competency Study forms the foundation of the ASTD Training Certificate.
"I just want to mention how life changing the certificate program was. I don't use those words lightly. I had never attended anything like the ASTD Training Certificate and my eyes were opened to the world of training and development. I was energized to reach new heights with my training. It's not often that something is not only career changing, but life changing."
