Cognota, the market leader for learning operations software, is excited to announce the release of its highly anticipated promo video for the world’s first LearnOps Certification Program, a revolutionary initiative designed to transform how talent and learning development professionals operate. 

The LearnOps Academy program is the first of its kind, offering learners unique insights into how to manage talent and learning development like a business, with the opportunity to earn a globally recognized certification.

“We are incredibly proud to launch this certification program with leading industry experts, which we believe will be a game-changer for the industry,” said Ryan Austin, CEO of Cognota. “Our goal is to redefine the role of learning operations within organizations, empowering L&D professionals with the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to drive measurable business impact. The LearnOps Certification Program brings together some of the brightest minds in the field, and we can’t wait to see the impact this will have on the future of talent development.”

The program is backed by a prestigious group of 30+ industry leaders, including Eric Dingler (Former CLO at Deloitte), Rob Lauber (Former CLO at McDonald’s), Martha Soehren, PhD (Former Chief Talent Development Officer at Comcast), Dr. Keith Keating (CLO at BDO), Jack and Patti Phillips (ROI Institute), Brandon Carson (Head of Learning at Starbucks), and many more. This remarkable group of thought leaders will offer learners unparalleled insights into what it takes to build a successful, business-driven L&D function.

In a bold, forward-thinking move, Cognota partnered with Colossyan to integrate AI Avatars of these experts into the program’s content. This cutting-edge approach allows learners to engage with AI versions of these leaders, followed by real-world coaching sessions with the actual experts.

“While there’s been much discussion about AI replacing human roles, we’ve taken a different view,” added Austin. “By using AI to augment our program, we’ve created a hybrid learning experience that blends the efficiency of AI with the depth and richness of human expertise. It’s truly the best of both worlds, allowing learners to get the most out of the program.”

The LearnOps Certification Program is built on a foundation of real-world case studies, cohort-led learning, and a strong community-driven approach. Participants will work together to solve practical challenges, preparing them to apply their newfound skills directly to their organizations. This unique certification is already making waves, with professionals proudly adding it to their resumes and LinkedIn profiles as a mark of excellence in learning operations.

Special thanks to Schoox, the LMS of choice for the program, which helps ensure a seamless learning experience. By integrating their innovative LMS platform, Cognota has made it easier for learners to track their progress and collaborate within the cohort.

“This program is a natural extension of our vision at Cognota to power learning operations for enterprises globally. We’re excited to see the LearnOps Certification Program take off, helping professionals navigate the complexities of L&D with precision, strategy, and innovation,” said Austin.
