CPLP Study Group

 


Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP)
Study Group

Your ASTD-Cascadia Chapter will be working in conjunction with PSU to continue to support the CPLP certification process and study group support.

Last year, we formed a pilot study group for the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) knowledge exam and corresponding work product submission. The study group met for 12 sessions. We hope to have another study group ready for the fall of 2009.

The Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) field is evolving incredibly quickly. One way you can stay at the forefront is by earning your CPLP credential. The goal of the study group is to aid you in that journey.

In the last study group, participants were able to:

  • See and use** materials offered for sale by National ASTD in support of the CPLP program, including the nine-volume ASTD Learning System and the ASTD Learning System Flash Cards
  • Develop a study plan that focuses on their individual areas of need
  • Learn test-taking strategies
  • Actively participate in information and idea exchange with peers
  • Discuss each of the nine Areas of Expertise (AOEs)
  • Receive input on chosen work product

**NOTE: These materials will be available for use ONLY during the sessions. They will not be available for lending.

Prerequisites for the CPLP Study Group

Before you sign up to attend the study group, you should have:

  • Read the CPLP Certification Home Page
  • Read the CPLP Fast Facts
  • Read the CPLP Candidate Bulletin ( Pay particular attention to Chapter 1, CPLP: Is It Right For You?)
  • Given some thought to which area of expertise (AOE) you want to pursue
  • Identified several potential options for use as your work product.
We encourage you to see CPLP certification as part of your commitment to yourself and your profession. The brass ring of opportunity is before you. Grab on and get ready for an amazing ride!
