Level 2 Gamification Certification for Talent Development Professionals

Still need to earn your Level 1 Gamification Apprentice certificate? Enroll in the combined certification series so you can still take advantage of this opportunity!

SEWI-ATD is excited to bring back Sententia Gamification so you can take the next step in your gamification journey. The Level 2 Journeyman certification extends your skills into persona mapping, game theory, behavioral tracking, game mechanics, and UX/UI. These new skills will help you increase employee engagement, change behaviors, and bring fun to your learning programs.

Sententia is offering their Level 2 Journeyman certification as a blended virtual program with your quests available to you anywhere and at any time. The blended modality provides an ideal adult learning environment as you experience the gamification mechanics, receive feedback on your progress, develop your skills, earn recognition, and build confidence in your ability to overcome design challenges.

This hands-on and self-directed class takes you through the 7-stage Sententia Gamification Design Framework. By the end of this 12-contact-hour certification program, through their proven reverse-engineering process, you will be able to map the Sententia Gamification Design Framework to a case study, assess best practices, and demonstrate applied competence in the application of gamification strategy design to a talent development case study or a program of your own.

Logistics

This is a blended virtual workshop. Webinar sessions will occur on seven days: March 10, 13, 20, 27, and April 3, 10, and 17.
