CTT+ verifies essential teaching modalities
In a survey conducted by the Training Associates, 87% of respondents use instructor led training (ILT) as a primary learning modality. Moreover, 74% of organizations take a blended approach to learning, augmenting ILT delivery with either a mobile, video, or social component. Earning a CTT+ certification can validate your skills as a top trainer in a virtual or physical classroom.

The examinations are based on a set of objectives designed to measure the core knowledge and skills that competent instructors must successfully demonstrate to complete an instructional assignment successfully both in a classroom and a virtual classroom environment.

This certification is targeted towards all training professionals and can be applied to all industries that provide technical and non-technical training and education.
