Recently, one of our tweeps on Twitter commented that she was going to demonstrate her commitment and passion for training by continuing her education and getting certified.

What good is certification, besides showing your commitment to your career? "Certification shows you have up-to-date information on the industry, techniques and trends (not just fads) about how to best implement effective learning transfer," says Bob Pike, chairman and CEO of The Bob Pike Group. "Getting certified gives additional credence to the fact you are a credible resource in your field."

The Bob Pike Group has four certificates available to help distinguish you from others who list training on their resumes: training delivery, training design, facilitation and virtual training. Keep in mind that our company focuses more on the side of making training participant-centered and interactive so all of our certificate class requirements will ensure that you become very knowledgeable with practical experience in this methodology.

"People learn best by doing. I'm not sure how or why we made the switch from experiential learning to rote memorization and lecture; but, to be effective trainers, we need to help people learn, not just teach," Pike said. "Our courses will help you gain the foundation to do this while also covering the research that demonstrates why these participant-centered models work."
