About Course

Phase 2 of the Certified Learning Strategist (CLS) certification moves you from knowing the competencies to applying them. You’ll step into a realistic “what would you do” scenario built from a Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award-winning case study, and you’ll show how a learning strategist would respond to a real business, workforce and performance challenge.

You’ll begin by reviewing all seven scenarios, drawn from award-winning programs at Amazon, CVS Health/Oak Street Health, John Deere, Google, IBM, Unilever and Verizon, and then choose the one you’d like to work on. Using that scenario, you’ll identify the business need, design a solution, explain how you would deliver it, describe your change management approach and outline the expected benefits. The CLS Excellence in Practice companion is an ideal guide for this work, because its five lenses for reading a case follow the same five parts as your submission. Our evaluators will review and score your completed submission, and once you pass, you’ll move on to Phase 3.
