FAQs

Need help making the right choice? Speak with an admissions advisor or send them a message.

Why should I enroll in this Learning & Development Certification Program?

We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, chaotic, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Disruption is a constant threat, no matter your industry. Helping your workforce continuously expand their knowledge and skill sets is crucial, but more challenging than ever thanks to shrinking budgets and the rapid pace of change. Which skills and competencies is your workforce missing? And which should be your top priority for a learning intervention?

With the Learning & Development Certificate Program, you will gain the knowledge and skills to answer these questions and more. During the course of this online L&D training, you will develop a full set of HRD skills ranging from creating a top-level strategy to assessing skill gaps within the organization and assessing the effectiveness of the programs using data analysis.

Aside from L&D strategy, skill gaps and learning analytics, what other topics does the online training cover?

The Learning & Development Certificate Program consists of 5 individual courses plus a capstone project, so there are too many topics to cover in-depth in this FAQ. Highlights of the online course include: learning about various approaches to learning, effective training presentation and delivery, knowledge management, organizational learning maturity, how L&D fits into a broader talent strategy, informal learning landscapes, and more. You can find more detailed information about the Learning and Development Certificate Program in the syllabus.

Is the capstone project graded?

Yes! Obtaining your certificate is contingent on completing the capstone project with a passing grade. If you do not pass on the first attempt you can re-do the project. Everything that you need to complete the capstone project will be provided in the course.

Is there a fixed schedule?

No. This program is 100% online and self-paced! When you learn and how much time you spend each day, week, or month is up to you. In total, you will need to invest approximately 35 hours to finish the program and obtain your certificate.

How long do I have access to the program?

In total, you will have 12 months of access to the student portal, all lessons, and learning materials. On average, members complete their (first) program in 3 - 4 months.

Is this program the right fit for me?

If you’re not sure if this program is the right fit, we are here to help you determine which program is the right fit for your goals and needs! Simply talk to one of our admissions advisors or send them an email at [email protected].

4.0Cheryl Gilge from Greensboro,US
The exam is tough and definitely requires different learning and retention strategies. The modules are taught be different people and their slide deck for download is very different. Some handouts have the transcript, others have missing slides with very little information. Give yourself a lot of time to review, especially if too much time passes between completeing the modules.

Very interesting program with a large scope of L&D practices and challenges. I was less keen to the digital learning part which may be could be updated with latest changes in the learning industry.

5.0Yoselin Flores Zenteno from Puebla,MX
It was a great learning experience so far. But, I guess It´d better to have more practice or peer to peer activities. At the end of the modules also it would be better to have the same kind of assessment, I mean alwats at the end a 10-question quiz or so. Tks

5.0Beverly Josiah from Reston,US
The Learning & Development Certificate Program is a practical and well-structured course that equips Talent Development professionals with actionable skills in instructional design, learning strategy, and program evaluation. I appreciated the hands-on exercises and frameworks like ADDIE and Kirkpatrick, which can be immediately applied in the workplace. This is a strong program for both emerging and experienced Talent Development professionals!
