The APTD on-demand preparation course is designed to provide in-depth coverage of the content in the three main Areas of Expertise (AOEs) on the APTD exam: Instructional Design, Training Delivery, and Learning Technologies. Plus, additional content from Evaluating Learning Programs and the Global Mindset Foundational Competency.

The course is delivered on a platform which adapts in real-time to each user’s behavior and performance to make learning efficient, effective, and engaging. As learners answer questions based on a series of Learning Objectives aligned to the Key Actions in each AOE, data is gathered on their performance and used to guide them to deeper learning. The technology is based on educational theory and cognitive science that explores memory, metacognition, and the personalized delivery of concepts. The course includes resources and suggested reading from the APTD Learning System, an online textbook.

The course is available as a 12-month subscription for $595/members or $695/list. Course users will need to purchase the Learning System separately unless they have received it as part of the APTD exam registration bundle.
