RALEIGH, N.C. – April 10, 2025 – Training Industry, the most trusted source of information on the business of learning, proudly marks the 10-year anniversary of the Certified Professional in Training Management (CPTM™) credential. Since its launch in 2015, CPTM has become the industry standard for learning and development (L&D) leaders, with over 2,000 training professionals certified worldwide. 

As the only certification focused on helping L&D leaders strategically align training initiatives with business goals, CPTM provides a process-oriented foundation for building and leading high-impact training functions. This research-backed, three-step certification program has no prerequisites and can be completed virtually in as little as two months.  

“The CPTM credential was created to bridge the gap between traditional instructional and operational expertise and the business acumen required to lead a successful training function, regardless of candidates’ previous experience,” said Amy DuVernet, Ph.D., CPTM, vice president of learning products at Training Industry. “For 10 years, CPTM has empowered training managers to design and implement learning solutions that drive real organizational impact.” 

CPTM alumni have transformed training functions across industries, from building training teams from scratch to enhancing employee onboarding, technical expertise and learning effectiveness. 

In honor of this milestone, Training Industry is excited to share exclusive resources highlighting the program’s 10-year journey.
