Frequently Asked QuestionsCAN I PARTICIPATE IF I AM NOT AN ATD MEMBER?Yes, non-members are welcome to join the CPTD virtual study group sessions. If you can make the 7p CT Thursday meetings, we are happy to have you. I DON’T LIKE VIRTUAL MEETINGS, IS THERE A LIVE OPTION?The study group is primarily a virtual study group. However, we realize that chapter members may live relatively close to one another and could like to meet live. Therefore, we will strive to group members based on geography so that the option for a hybrid meeting is available. Members could meet live and then call into the videoconference for the meeting and discussion. WILL I HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THE CPTD CERTIFICATION PREPARATION COURSE TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAM AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE VIRTUAL STUDY GROUP? No. The CPTD Certification Preparation Course is a digital resource purchased from ATD's global organization. For more information, please go here.
