Why Certify?The CPTD, APTD, and other career-supporting certifications contribute to our growth and increase our ability to perform better. If you are an HR professional, trainer, instructor, or teacher, consider meeting all 3 of your development needs with the CPTD or APTD certification from ATD. if your small employer doesn't have a budgeted development program, a certification from the Association for Talent Development and a local Chapter membership is a cost-effective means for a workplace development and professional enrichment program.
