About the MENA Study Group

The MENA Study Group is a trusted, purpose-driven community dedicated to supporting Learning and Talent Development professionals across the MENA region in their journey toward earning the CPTD and APTD certifications.We exist because certification is demanding—and doing it alone is harder. We provide structure, guidance, and a peer network that keeps you accountable and supported every step of the way.

Why We Exist
