Great news! I have now passed all the requirements for the highest
level of certification with the Canadian Society for Training and
Development! This process involved a minimum of 10 years in the field
and a doctorate, a three hour knowledge exam,
a facilitation video that was judged by a panel of experts,
a written explanation to determine how the facilitation video met
all competency requirements, references, and a substantial fee…
My new designation is Marie Gervais, PhD, CSTD which is recognized
around the world by the international branches of Societies for Training
and Development. It means I can facilitate and design adult education
materials for any group anywhere in the world and be considered at the
top of my field. Whew, made it!
