The credit-based Training and Development certification program prepares individuals for professional positions in employer-based training, employee development, training and training administration. As one of the most rapidly growing career opportunity areas, the training and development field offers careers such as trainer/instructor, instructional technologist, course developer/designer, training specialist, and training manager.
The Training and Development certification program includes course work in seven basic areas: business organization and management, instruction and program development, business communications, interpersonal relations, human resources, adult learning, and computers. These competency areas coincide with the competencies that the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) recommends for well-qualified training professionals. Organizations with training and employee development programs provide internship positions that allow students to actively apply knowledge and skills in a real training environment.
