Testimonials
"I have just completed my first certificate program with the Association for Talent Development (ATD) and I could not be more impressed with it! It was the missing bridge between my journalism background and my L&D future. I can't wait to put this learning into practice! :)"
Read More"This program was not easy, but it was the most rewarding class I've ever taken. I completed the class almost 5 months ago and use what I learned on almost a daily basis in my job. Excellent course."
Read More"Not only [did the course] teach me how to be more effective in my writing, the resources for me to practice and continue with my development afterwards are astounding. I have what I learned and a cadre of other sources to use as I continue to grow."
