What our members are saying:

"Being a part of ASTD has been an
extremely beneficial experience for me.  
The national chapter has an incredible
amount of resources that have helped me
to become a better Training Manager
and being a part of the local chapter has
helped me to build relationships with
some very talented people from the local
area."

As a professional, you want to provide valuable, measurable results to
your organization.  The  CPLP™ designation distinguishes you from other
job candidates by demonstrating what you possess an in-depth
knowledge of and can demonstrate expertise in the diverse workplace
learning and performance field.

THE
CPLP™ addresses the nine areas of expertise based on the
middle tier of the ASTD Competency Model
.
The ASTD Competency Model provides a strategic road
map for today's successful learning and performance
professional.  There are three groups to the Model:

  • Roles are groupings of targeted competencies. They
    are not job titles. An individual’s job may encompass
    one or more roles, similar to different "hats" that one
    might have to wear.
  • Areas of Expertise are the specialized
    knowledge/skills an individual needs over the
    foundational competencies. An individual may need
    expertise in one or more areas.
  • Foundational Competencies define relevant
    behaviors for learning and performance professionals
    to varying degrees.
