"When many of our members told us they needed a way to identify quality e-learning courses from the thousands of providers on the market, we turned to Intrepid Learning Solutions to help us develop our E-Learning Courseware Certification (ECC) program. Over the past three years, the ASTD Certification Institute's ECC program has certified over 200 e-learning courses and established a "seal of approval" certification that defines the industry standard for usability and instructional design of e-learning courseware. Intrepid has been a critical partner in the ECC program." Tony Bingham, President and CEO, ASTD
