  • What are the eligibility requirements for the CPLP and APTD?
  • What are the differences between the two credentials?
  • How can I qualify to test out of portions of the APTD and CPLP knowledge exams?
  • What can I do if I'm not ready to pursue a certification?
  • What options exist to help me prepare to take either exam?

Please join Holly Batts, Associate Director of ATD's Certification Insitute, and Sue Kaiden, Project Manager, Credentialing for ATD, to learn more about ATD credentialing and education options. Be sure to submit a question you are hoping the presenters will answer during this webcast!
