Wow, so I'm officially a blogger now! How exciting!
We had another productive SIG today at Victaulic (thank you, Rick!). It was a little different from previous SIGs in the we didn't have presenters, but instead held an animated discussion that, as usual, could have continued long after our time was up.
The topic for today was Continuing Education Units and Certification. We discussed this topic from two angles:
1. Certification and CEUs for ourselves as trainers
2. Accrediting our training modules to provide CEUs to our employess and customers.
Personally, I learned a great deal about the value of CPLP certification. What I love about these SIGs is that I always come away with 2 or 3 pieces of information I can apply immediately to my professional life and today was no exception. I know many of you had more to say when we ended today, so please take a moment to reply to this blog and keep the discussion going! If you weren't able to join us today, here's your chance to join in.
A question to get us going...
How many of your employers recognize some form of certification for trainers? Do any of your employers require certification?
