Masters Certificate in Adult Training and Development (Advanced Standing)

  • The training function in organizations across sectors has become increasingly critical for organizational agility and responsiveness to client needs. Well-educated facilitators are key to the success of these training programs.

    This program helps to develop all of the essential competencies required to function as a professional in the teaching of adult learners in the workplace. It was developed at the graduate level in response to expressed needs of Master’s Degree students, who felt that an introduction to adult learning principles needed to be complemented by hands-on experiential practice in the skills of teaching adult learners.

    The program promises to expose learners to all of the core theory and practice of the training field, in order to develop professionals who not only understand why they are teaching in certain ways, but also are able to skillfully apply this understanding to their actual behaviour on the job.

    Participants have three years tio complete this six-module (Advanced Standing) Certificate. All Certificates require completion of the Practicum.
