Accredited Tier Designer Advancement Track

Accredited Tier Designers (ATDs) can advance their designation through two distinct levels of demonstrated mastery: Accredited Tier Designer and Accredited Tier Professional.

Completion of the initial ATD course and passing the ATD exam results in the student receiving the formal ATD designation. This designation forms the minimum basis for all Tier designers. Once the ATD designation is earned, graduates can choose to complete additional courseware to advance their career expertise even higher, advancing to the Accredited Tier Professional designation.
