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.
