CTDP Certification Study Site

Certified Training and Development Professional (CTDP) Designation

There are two parts to the CTDP Certification Process.  You first need to get ready to pass the exam.  Once you've passed the exam you need to complete a Skill Demonstration.  The CTDP Certification Study Site has been designed to help you through both parts of the CTDP Certification Process.

PART 2.  CTDP Certification: Skill Demonstration Coaching Support

Now that you've successfully passed the CTDP Certification exam, you are getting ready to complete Part 2 of the process, i.e., prepare your Skill Demonstration Work Product. You could identify the best work product and prepare it on your own.  However, you'd value coaching support through the process. 

Our CTDP Skill Demonstration Coaching Support process consists of three - one hour Zoom meetings, as well as edits / reviews of your CTDP Skill Demonstration Worksheet and supporting materials. You do the work and we review it and provide feedback.

Why Learnware Design’s CTDP Study Site?

The CTDP Certification Study Site was designed and developed by Valerie Dixon, M.Ed., CTDP, President of Learnware Design Inc.  She is an expert Performance and Learning professional who has held key executive and consulting roles in the field of Workplace Performance and Learning for over 40 years.

Valerie also coached many of the Institute’s study groups as well as individuals (one-on-one).  She knows what it takes to successfully achieve the CTDP professional designation.

Learnware Design Inc. was the creator/designer of the Institute for Performance and Learning’s (I4PL) Training Competency Architecture (TCA) and Toolkit. The TCA and Toolkit were the foundational documents used to support the Certified Training and Development Professional designations (CTP and CTDP), and served to establish the standards against which Training and Development professionals seeking certification were assessed.
