ASTD Competency Model
Foundational Competenciesdefine relevant behaviors for
learning and performance professionals to varying degrees.
Areas of Expertise (AOEs)are the specialized knowledge/skills an individual needs over the foundational competencies. An individual may need
expertise in one or more areas.
Rolesare groupings of targeted competencies. They are not job
titles. An individual’s job may encompass one or more
roles, similar to different "hats" that one might have to wear.
The nine modules of the
ASTD Learning System and CPLP exam
align to the nine AOEs.
