Certificate Training Programs
Certificate programs focus on a specific topic by leveraging a series of connected courses. They are designed to:
- develop specific skills and knowledge identified in the needs analysis process
- accelerate learning and application through the proper use of adult learning principles
- suggest best practices in the application of new skills and knowledge
- provide new perspectives by challenging traditional beliefs and behaviors
Certificate programs are the flagship of our corporate learning solutions.
Our certificate programs embrace unique training application best practices to reinforce learning. For example, organizations typically incorporate work projects in which participants are challenged to apply newly acquired skills. These projects range from designing customer surveys to measuring productivity of an outbound call center to creating a new employee orientation program. These work projects create a very viable means of determining training ROI. In addition to the classroom training, certificate programs embody learner-centered and performance-based practices. These learning strategies push training beyond the classroom, giving students more insights into their own motivations and behaviors, creating opportunities to interact at a deeper level with their managers and other organizational leaders, and empowering participants to be more effective in their interactions with those whom they support or lead. Many of our clients who have continued offering these programs for a number of years have achieved the following results:
- an increase in manager retention
- development of bench strength & emerging leaders
- a stronger sense of ownership of the management development process
- a strategic alignment between the organization’s goals and the talent management function
