WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Testimonials
"I chose ATD because I need to get certified [as an] APTD and I thought ATD was the best to help me! I got more than what I expected. [The course] opened my eyes to a new area that I really like (Learning Science). It helped me a lot with understanding adult learning and instructional design."
“Right away, as I began studying to become an APTD, I could apply the material to my work. Having a project to apply my studies to made all the difference. It made the material come alive.”
"The APTD On-Demand Course was the key driver in helping to prepare me for the APTD exam. Not only could I access it conveniently whenever and wherever I was, the workshop analyzed which areas I needed to focus on more. Without the workshop, I wouldn’t have been as prepared for the exam and the way the questions were worded."
