Competency modeling is a powerful tool that provides learning and development (L&D) professionals with a data-driven foundation to inform key strategic talent management processes, such as personalized individual or team development plans, targeted upskilling and even succession planning. Competency models align skills and abilities to specific roles or functions within your organization, allowing you to hone in on what your learners need most and create strategic L&D plans with a big impact.
In this Training Industry certificate program, you will learn a step-by-step process for developing custom competency models for your organization, including identifying key competencies, writing competency definitions, and gaining agreement and buy-in among stakeholders. You’ll also learn about strategies to validly assess employee’s current competency levels and identify the gaps you need to target.
After earning this certificate, you will be able to:
-
Utilize multiple sources of information to determine the key competencies associated with a given role or function.
-
Create customized competency definitions and behavioral indicators for your organization.
-
Refine, validate and maintain your competency models over time to ensure accuracy and relevance.
-
Assess employees against your competency model to identify strategic competency gaps on the individual and team level.
-
Gain buy-in for your competency models and effectively partner with stakeholders in development and implementation.

What is the Competency Modeling Certificate program based on? Is it a certification?
This program is based on Training Industry’s research-backed Training Manager Competency Model™ which specifies the core responsibilities of a training manager and the competencies needed to perform them successfully. Unlike the Certified Professional in Training Management (CPTM™) program this is not a certification program but rather a certificate, where you will be awarded a digital badge upon completion of the course.
What language(s) is the certificate available in?
Currently, all Training Industry Courses are available in U.S. English.
Do I have to be in an L&D role to take this course? Are there prerequisites?
You do not need to currently be in an L&D role to participate in this course. The program offers you plenty of hands-on experience and is ideal for anyone looking to develop custom competency models for their organization. It is applicable for those at all levels of experience and backgrounds, and the prework is designed to give each learner the support they need to align skills and abilities to specific roles or functions.
