Course description
The complete CPTD® exam prep program, personalized and adapted to prepare you best.
Accelerate your readiness for the certification exam with customizable resources including content modules, self-assessments, live online sessions, discussions, a timed practice test, and access to the TDBoK™ Guide: Talent Development Body of Knowledge.
Prepare with a comprehensive learning experience that will help you focus on the areas you need to prove your ability and earn theCPTD—the certification for professionals with at least five years of experience and who understand and can affect impactful talent development solutions that drive organizational success.
A facilitator-led yet flexible and self-paced approach gives you access to the content and resources immediately upon enrolling and for 12 months after to ensure you can prepare right up to your exam date. The course uses an adaptive, assessment-based approach to allow you to customize your learning. With a robust set of microlearning resources tailored for busy professionals, an expert facilitator, and a community of candidates, you will be guided through an end-to-end study path so you leave the course feeling confident to take the exam. The CPTD exam is administered by the ATD Certification Institute (ATD CI). Eligibility requirements must be met in order to take the exam and the cost of the exam fee is not included with this preparation course.
The course goes beyond presenting the content from the Talent Development Capability Model™ to preparing you to prove your mastery of applying the knowledge and skills on the exam. Through the development of short-term and long-term goals and action items tied to exam preparation strategies, you’ll create an individualized study plan that identifies what you need to focus on to achieve your goal of becoming certified. You will also have access to a full-length practice test, allowing you to fully explore the types of questions you’ll encounter on exam day.
