Adult learning for the workplace differs from traditional, classroom learning. A new comprehensive on demand certificate program from ATD includes eight application-based courses, each covering a different facet of adult learning. Throughout this self-paced program, you will receive helpful tools and templates for your own use and receive tips from highly-experienced practitioners in the field.

Take all eight courses, or just one or two-it's up to you! Should you choose to complete all eight courses, you'll wrap-up your learning experience with a capstone that guides you in prioritizing your learning and determining how to apply it at work.
