In this three-day program, you’ll benefit from learning from one of the field’s top AI experts, who is at the forefront of AI adoption in learning and development.

The Applying AI in Learning & Development Certificate program is an immersive, hands-on course that introduces you to the many uses of generative AI for learning and development. The course draws upon key concepts from the ATD publication, Applying AI in Learning and Development, and you will receive a copy of the book along with the course materials.

This program will help you lean into your professional knowledge and guide AI to create enhanced learning solutions that are highly applicable and relevant to your work. You will also learn to integrate AI into your everyday workflows to help automate and streamline day-to-day tasks, freeing your time for deeper work. Throughout the program, you will experiment directly with AI tools and models to solve real-world L&D challenges.

Deep Understanding of AI Usage and Trends

Comprehending the principles and constructs of generative AI is key to unlocking its full potential in your work. Our field is on the precipice of massive change driven by AI. Organizations must develop a strategy to bring AI tools to employees, not to replace, but to enhance their work. L&D practitioners should stand by ready to support their colleagues as they take on new tasks and skills. It is critical that we understand the myriad ways generative AI can enhance and expedite many common tasks in the planning, design, and analysis that inform robust learning experiences.

Practical, Real-World Application

The Applying AI in Learning and Development program will give you hands-on experience using AI tools so that you leave the course feeling empowered and confident to apply your new skills and knowledge.

In the course, you’ll practice using AI tools to:

• Create structured prompts using your expertise to get the best outputs.
• Accelerate performance consulting, skill mapping, and needs analysis.
• Generate and refine text, images, audio, and video content for learning.
• Develop storyboards, microlearning modules, video scripts, and chatbots.
• Understand automated workflows, GPTs, Gems, and AI agents for L&D tasks.
• At the end of this intensive learning experience, you will understand how to apply AI to your work, drive performance enablement, and create programs that benefit learners and organizations.

Access to an artificial intelligence large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, CoPilot, or Perplexity, on your computer is required for this course. A personal account or trial version of any tool is acceptable. If you will be using an employer-provided laptop, please ensure you can access an LLM on it.
