Designing Learning Certificate

Developed for participants new to instructional design, this is the complete workshop for designing outcome-based training, giving participants a competitive advantage when creating programs. The workshop follows a human performance improvement approach to designing learning and includes practice in performance analysis, needs assessment, job/task analysis, and course design using templates exclusive to ASTD. The content is based on the key actions and knowledge defined by the ASTD Competency Model for designing learning. Participants leave knowing how to design a complete program including participant guides, instructor guides, and other materials that directly correlate to the organization's business goals. In addition, participants will apply what they learn during the workshop, concluding with designing a training based on case study information presented throughout the workshop.

Designed by Ruth Clark and Ann Kwinn of CLARK Training and Consulting, the ASTD Designing Learning Certificate Program provides you with all the tools necessary to develop powerful, bottom-line focused training.
