Certified Professional in Training Management (CPTM™) is a credential focused specifically on the training manager job role. The program is designed to help you gain the skills needed to manage corporate training programs that align with your company’s current and future goals. CPTMs are certified in the principles needed to align learning and development with business goals and have demonstrated mastery of the most critical competencies defined in Training Industry's Training Manager Competency Model™
The Certified Professional in Training Management (CPTM™) program utilizes a blended approach to learning, providing a balance of self-paced prework with applied experiences, to enable a lasting and impactful transformation of your business practices associated with managing learning and development. There are three steps to attaining your CPTM credential.
STEP 1: COMPLETE 10 ELEARNING MODULES
After you register, you will receive access to the learning management system (LMS) where you will complete ten interactive eLearning modules. To get the most out of your virtual practicum, we recommend starting the self-paced eLearning modules at least six weeks before your practicum.
STEP 2: VIRTUAL PRACTICUM
The virtual practicum is a team-based experience designed to simulate real-world scenarios and challenges associated with the training manager job role. During the practicum, you will be confronted with a real-world business problem and asked to conduct diagnostics to identify the root cause of that problem. Together, you and your peers will develop a solution using learning and development and will identify appropriate metrics to evaluate the training solution’s success.
By the end of the program, you will have developed a plan of action that aligns your training initiatives with key business goals. Each practicum includes a keynote discussion with an experienced training and development executive who has earned their own CPTM credential, and has faced many of the same challenges as you..
STEP 3: CERTIFICATION
Passing the CPTM exam is your last step toward earning your credential. The two-and-a-half-hour online exam can be accessed at any time following the completion of your practicum.
The exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions designed to test both your knowledge of the core principles needed to effectively manage corporate training programs and your ability to apply best practices in various real-world scenarios specific to the training manager job role. Candidates must receive a 70% or higher to pass the exam and earn the CPTM credential.
