  This program is like no virtual conference or Zoom workshop you’ve attended. The Sententia Gamification Certification is a complete immersion experience that leaves you creatively inspired and technically masterful. Plus, this is the ONLY Gamification Certification that earns you  recertification* credits for your CPLP!

  This hands-on certification takes you through the 5-step, trademarked, and proven process of gamifying your organizational quest. The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology. Adding game mechanics to training, gamification not only increases interest, but it also increases engagement and creates behavioral change by making learning and development "fun."

  Gamification is not just about rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviors which companies want to encourage among their employees and customers.

  Is now a good time to put an end to dry, boring learning? Get ready to play full out during our Gamification adventure!
