Certified Training and Development Professional – Preparation Course

From Training Delivery to Professional Learning Expertise

Training and development professionals are expected to do far more than deliver engaging sessions. They must understand business needs, diagnose performance gaps, design effective learning solutions, work closely with internal and external clients, and demonstrate that learning translates into measurable workplace performance.

The Certified Training and Development Professional – Preparation Course provides structured preparation across the core areas of professional training and development practice. Over five days, participants explore client partnering, performance needs assessment, curriculum design, learning experience development, facilitation, learning transfer, and evaluation.

The programme combines practical tools, frameworks, and activities to help participants strengthen their professional capabilities while preparing around the knowledge and competencies associated with the Certified Training and Development Professional pathway.

You'll learn how to:

• Partner effectively with clients to understand organisational needs and recommend appropriate learning solutions.
• Manage client expectations, stakeholder interactions, agreements, and changing requirements.
