CPTD STUDY GROUP 2026

Invest in your future. Deepen your expertise. Earn your CPTD with the support of a community that learns together.

The ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter and our partner chapters offer a collaborative CPTD Study Group designed to help talent development professionals prepare for certification while expanding their knowledge, confidence, and professional network.

This is more than an exam preparation program.

It's an opportunity to challenge yourself, learn from experienced professionals, and gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities that drive success in talent development.

Whether your goal is career advancement, professional credibility, personal growth, or simply becoming more effective in your role, the CPTD Study Group can help you get there.

    WHY PURSUE CERTIFICATION?

    ATD certification demonstrates your commitment to professional excellence and continuous growth. Certified professionals consistently report benefits such as:

    • Greater confidence in their work
    • New insights and perspectives
    • Improved professional effectiveness
    • Stronger credibility
    • Increased career opportunities
    • Greater satisfaction in their work and professional growth

    Many candidates discover that the learning journey itself becomes one of the most valuable professional development experiences of their careers. 

    Why Join a Study Group?

    While independent study is possible, preparing alongside others offers significant advantages.

              
    Stay Accountable  Learn From Other Professionals  Strengthen Your Understanding  Build Lasting Connections
    A structured schedule and regular interaction help keep your preparation on track.  The study group brings together talent development professionals from multiple industries, organizations, and ATD chapters.

    What Makes Our Study Group Different?


    Our participants help teach it.

    Each week, participants facilitate discussions on assigned topics from the Talent Development Body of Knowledge (TDBoK), share practical insights, and create study resources that benefit the entire cohort.

    By the end of the program, participants have not only studied the material, they have actively engaged with it, discussed it, applied it, and taught portions of it to others.
