There are two certifications:
Both certifications are based on the Talent Development Capability Model.
ASSOCIATE PROFESSIONAL IN TALENT DEVELOPMENT (APTD)The APTD is great for those in their early talent development careers and for those who moved into talent development I the middle of their careers.
