CPTD VIRTUAL STUDY GROUP (April 2026 forward)

Having a support system as you prepare for the CPTD exam can have a big impact on your success and we're here for you! 

Central Massachusetts ATD is hosting a study group for current CPTD candidates pursuing certification.

Details

• This will be a rolling 13-week schedule, where you can join anytime depending on your goal, and just continue.
• The schedule will repeat every 13 weeks, so join whenever is best for you and your specific goals.
• We meet on Tuesdays from 7 - 9 over Zoom.

If you have any questions, you can email prodev@tdcentralmass.org.

Cost: $50 USD for non-members and general public, $35 to Central Massachusetts ATD members and chapter affiliates

What To Expect:
The study group sessions are typically structured as follows:

• 13 weekly sessions focused on the three capability areas
• The virtual (Zoom) study group sessions are meant to supplement your independent study. The sessions provide a chance to reinforce knowledge through discussion, clarification of key points, shared resources, and key test taking strategies. Each study group session is moderated by one or more facilitators from the CMATD chapter
• This group is a great way to keep accountable and also get encouragement!
• Most sessions will count as 1 hour of Professional Development towards meeting the certification requirements (announced at the start of each session)
• Certified CPTDs and experts in the capability areas may be scheduled as guest speakers during an individual study group session. 

Study Materials:

No study materials are provided specifically from this study group.  We are using the Talent Development Body of Knowledge (TDBok) as the group textbook and all members should have access.  TDBok is now free to all ATD national members.
