What is a Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP)?

The Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) offered by the American Society for Training and Development Certification Institute is a broad-based credential for the learning and performance professional. It covers nine areas of expertise as defined by the ASTD Competency Model shown here.

Roles - are groupings of targeted competencies.  They are not job titles. An individual’s job may encompass one or more roles, similar to different "hats" that one might have to wear.

Areas of Expertise - are the specialized knowledge/skills an individual needs over the foundational competencies. An individual may need expertise in one or more areas.

Foundational Competencies - define relevant behaviors for learning and performance professionals to varying degrees.
