ATD APTD Exam Prep
The way into ATD certification before you have the years CPTD requires.
What you'll get: APTD and CPTD both rest on the Talent Development Capability Model, but the APTD targets early- to mid-career practitioners and concentrates on execution: designing learning programmes and delivering training. This ~90-minute course walks the three domains of the Capability Model, the six learning-science principles the exam asks about most, how to separate ADDIE from Bloom, Kirkpatrick and Gagné, the technique for reading scenario questions in the role the exam assigns you, and an eight-week revision plan weighted to where most of the questions actually sit.
Who is this course for?
- Internal trainers without the years CPTD requires
- L&D specialists wanting an international talent development credential
- Learning designers who want to formalise their foundations
- Internal trainers moving fully into the talent development profession
After this course, you will
- Place capabilities in the right domain of the Talent Development Capability Model
- Master the six learning-science principles the exam favours
- Pick the right framework for each design and evaluation question
- Read scenario questions by role and eliminate options beyond your authority
