Certified Training Course

Certified Training Professional (CTP) is an international qualification in training which was developed by the ECDL Foundation and is licensed in Ireland by ICS SKILLS. CTP defines an objective standard for instructor led training and provides a mechanism for trainers to have their competence recognised and certified.

CTP Certified Training Professional course

The CTP programme has two streams, for experienced trainers and for new or aspiring trainers. Experienced trainers attend a three-day CTP Certification workshop before completing a comprehensive report on their skills and abilities, called the Trainers Evidence Record. (For full details on certification pgm see link on left)

New and aspiring trainers must attend a twelve-week CTP Development course, which incorporates forty hours of training observation, before moving on to the CTP Certification phase of the programme. For full details on development program CLICK HERE

FÁS has officially recognised the CTP qualification as a basis for inclusion in the FÁS/EI Register of Trainers. In a further move to support the programme, FÁS has also committed to funding CTP as part of their Competency Development Programme. This means that eligible candidates, who are in private employment or self-employed, receive generous funding of up to 70% of the cost of the programme.

Overview:

The CTP qualification is available for experienced trainers by the submission of the required evidence to demonstrate their expertise, and to new and aspiring trainers by attendance at our 12 week trainer development course.

CTP is an evidence-based qualification, which gives experienced trainers the opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in training delivery and management. Candidates attend a three-day workshop during which the requirements are explored and explained, and practical training skills are demonstrated in a twenty-minute training session video.

The CTP Development Programme enables individuals who have little or no training experience to develop the skills necessary to achieve CTP. It is a training course, which focuses on the key elements of professional training delivery. On completion of the Development Programme, participants can then join with experienced trainers in the CTP workshop.

The CTP certificate is awarded when the candidate is considered to have achieved the standards laid down by the ECDL Foundation for attaining the qualification.

The portfolio of evidence and the training video are assessed by the CTP Tutor in the first instance, and is subject to a second review by the CTP Internal Verifier.

A third level of assessment is provided by the CTP External Verifier who reviews a random selection of certification applications, to ensure that the correct procedures have been followed and that the judgement of the CTP Tutor and Internal Verifier is fair.

CTP Certification Programme

For individuals with prior teaching or training experience, the CTP Certification Programme offers a flexible route to the CTP qualification:
