Learning and Development Professionals digital badges were developed during AETC’s initial digital credentialing effort in 2021. Department of the Air Force military or civilian personnel in professional positions whose duties are to administer, supervise, advise on, design, develop to deliver educational or training services in formal and informal education and training programs can earn these badges. Earning the badges requires knowledge of learning theory and principles, methods, practices, and techniques as it relates to the field of instructional systems. There are eight Learning and Development Professionals badges.  Click here to learn more about the badges, earning pathways, and criteria.
