Looking to Transition into L&D Management: Which Certifications Should I Consider?

Dear All, I thank you for taking the time to go through my query. I am an aviation professional with 15 years of experience in the aviation industry. The last 6 years of my career have been dedicated to management across departments such as Training (Soft Skills/Leadership/Mindset/Hospitality), Performance Management, and Operations Management. Currently, I am looking to broaden my horizons and wish to venture into the L&D stream.

Seeking Advice on L&D Certifications

Hence, I require your advice on the latest and most suitable certifications/courses to pursue to aim for the L&D Manager position. I hold a bachelor's degree in commerce and have completed a few courses such as Train the Trainer and High Impact Presentation. The internet offers a wide selection of courses, and below is the course/certification that, with my limited knowledge, I feel is suitable for me. I request you to please advise on the course and the institute below.

1) Licentiate in T&D (L T & D) from Middle Earth HR, and the course offers the following:
- Certified Instructional Designer
- Master Trainer and Facilitator
- Certified Learning and Development Manager

A directional point from your end will be fruitful for me. I thank you again.

Regards, Avtar

I think you have, on the face of it, excellent credentials, qualifications, experience, certifications... What else do you want in L&D domain! Maybe outbound training, coaching, mentoring, leadership training kind of things!

Best wishes

Dear Sundaram, thank you for taking the time to read through my post and respond. You correctly identified that I have the basics; however, I am looking to upskill myself in order to lead a team as a manager. What's holding me back at this point is the lack of certain authentic certifications. Hence, I need your advice on the following course and the authenticity of the institute. I would also appreciate it if you could recommend any alternative or better institute in India.

1) Licentiate in T&D (L T & D) from Middle Earth HR, which offers the following:

- Certified Learning and Development Manager

Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
