The pilot administration of the newly revised Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) exam will be held in August and September 2020. If you are planning to take the new CPTD exam, join Holly Batts, associate director of the ATD Certification Institute, and CPTD candidates Noël Zykowski and Brandi Maynard to learn about what you can do to prepare.

• What creative strategies are candidates using to prepare for the new exam?
• Do changes to the format of the exam alter the way you should prepare?
• What resources are available to help you study?
• What should you expect during the testing experience?
• Should you consider the remote proctoring option?
