What is a Work Product?

The Work Product is the practical application of one of the competencies and the final hurdle to getting certified.  There are three areas available currently for the work product:  Designing Learning, Delivering Training, and Measuring and Evaluation.  More details can be found at:  http://www.astd.org/astd/cplp/cand_bul.htm

In simple terms, you are being asked to submit a project you have completed in the past three years. The project should be considered a sample or a segment of your past work versus a portfolio, or body of work.  All work products will require documentation of the actual work you did. For example, if designing learning is your AOE, you will be required to provide an actual design document. For delivering training, you should provide a recorded class session that is either instructor-led in a classroom setting or a synchronous e-learning event. For measuring and evaluating, you will be expected to provide a report of an evaluation.
