Thank you for participating in our first So You Want to Be a CPLP information session!
We appreciate your interest in the certification.
Since it is our first webinar, we thank you in advance for your patience in helping us make this a success.
I hope you know why you’re here. Just to remind you of the purpose of this webinar, you’re here to
Seek answer to your questions regarding certification
You’re also here to learn about what it takes to attain CPLP certification
Hopefully, by the end of this webinar, you will have enough information to make a decision if you want to pursue your CPLP credential.
This is who we are…
Tom Miller has been a CPLP for ______ years. He is the current Metro DC ASTD CPLP Program Manager and Study Group Leader.
Tom Coffey was one of the inaugural CPLP credential holders….
Deadra Welcome has been a CPLP since 2010 and serves as the Metro DC ASTD Director of Professional Development.
Now let’s find out a little information about you…Tell us where you are calling from.
As soon as I grant you permission to draw…
Use your rectangle box to locate your star. Click on the small triangle in the lower right-hand corner to locate your start. Put a star in the proximity of where you’re calling from.
Certification is…a voluntary process by which an organization grants recognition to an individual who has met certain predetermined qualifications or standards.
A certification program is not the same as a certificate program.
Certification Programs….
-Designed to assess knowledge/skills/abilities in respect to pre-determined standards
-Usually results in a designation
Certificate Programs….
Designed to emphasize learning events
Typically results in a document that acknowledges course completion
CPLP certification…
Creates standards for workplace learning professionals
Helps elevate and increase the recognition of the learning and development profession
Means that a certain level of eligibility has been attained
Why do I need it; what is the value?
Some of the most common reasons to pursue certification include:
Increases opportunities for career advancement and/or increased earnings
Differentiator in a competitive job market
Increases/validates skills and knowledge
Supports continued professional development
Demonstrates a high level of commitment to the field of practice
Demonstrates high level of knowledge and skill

Personal accomplishment
Let’s take a look at the CPLP website to see how one CPLP explains the value that certification has added
(Add the link to the weblink…Tnce on the site, scroll to the YouTube video… tell them…) I am going to give you about 3 minutes to watch the video…be sure that your speakers are muted…after 3 minutes, close the browser and you will be brought back to the webinar
Let’s talk about the ASTD Competency Model. Receiving the CPLP credential ensures that you have a baseline understanding and knowledge of the nine Areas of Expertise or AOEs is what they are commonly called.
The bottom tier is the foundational competency set
The middle tier are the areas of expertise or AOEs
The top tier are the roles
In addition to ensuring that you have knowledge of all nine AOEs, you also need to demonstrate that you can apply your knowledge of the designated AOEs.
Hopefully, we’ve answered your most important question…what is the CPLP Certification, but I’m sure you have others.
To help us make this session more relevant to your needs, please take this poll…What are you most interested in learning about CPLP certification?
What’s required?
How much does it cost?
How much time will I have to invest?
How do I prepare?
When is the test offered?
(Debrief the poll by acknowledging those topics with the most interest)
Let’s take a few minutes to answer a few questions you have regarding what we’ve covered so far?
What do I have to do to get it?
These are the steps that you need to take to receive your CPLP certification…
To determine your eligibility…
you need to have at least three years industry-related experience in the learning and development field.
ASTD recommends five years of experience
In addition to meeting the minimum eligibility requirements, you need to determine your readiness level.
Assess your…
Knowledge—Ask yourself…
Do I have the appropriate breadth of knowledge in each of the AOEs?
Do I know enough about what is required to go through the certification process?
Work Product
Do I have a work product to submit that meets the requirements?
Fit
Does certification fit with my career goals?
Commitment

Now let’s talk about the test…
150 multiple choice questions.

Overview:
Submission is a sample or segment of work completed within the past three years.
Work product package consists of a finalized work sample product, prepared responses to essay questions, and various release and permission forms.
Candidates mail in packages for scoring.
Scoring is done by trained CPLP professionals.
You must submit a successful work product in order to earn the CPLP designation
It’s time for another poll question…which barriers prevent you from pursuing your CPLP Certification?
Time
Money
Resources
Lack of information
Other
None—I’m going for it!
How much time will I have to invest?
The key is scheduling.
You can set aside 2 hours per week for 10 weeks or you can take a boot camp class and immerse yourself for a weekend.
You’re in control of the time commitment.
For me (Deadra) I took a prep course, which provided a 10-week schedule. An AOE was covered each week. Then, I took off for two days from work, Thursday and Friday, and reviewed/studied for four days. I completed my work product during my 2-week vacation.
