So, I say I am a trainer. After all that is where my career has been going. I have emphasized the organic nature of how my career path started out, my transition from technical work into that of customer service and training. But how do I let people know of my ability. I mean I have no formal training in the field.
That was the question I asked myself. How can I show the world my skills, The answer, or at least I hope it is the answer, is to get a certification that proves this. So that is what I did. I looked around for a certification that I can use to prove my skills. I have designed courses and classes , I have delivered training, I have used different learning programs and methods, and i have given evaluations of the class and the students. I found one certification that covers all of this and was made for people just like me, the accidental trainer.
It is offered by the ATD, It is called the Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD). In May I set out to get this certification. After many hours of studying, I am happy to say that today, June 18th, I passed my APTD certification test. So now I have that certification that I can show and let the world know that yes, I do know what I am talking about. #training#professional Your IP Address
