In 2012, I achieved the Certified Training and Development Professional (CTDP) designation from the Canadian Society for Training and Development, now known as the Institute for Performance and Learning. This certification is a hallmark of excellence in the field of training and development, recognizing professionals who demonstrate a thorough understanding of major themes in training and development. The CTDP program equipped me with practical skills for promoting training within organizations, linking training to organizational goals, identifying training needs, and selecting trainers and consultants.
As a CTDP, I have gained expertise in training fundamentals, needs assessment, material development, and program management.
