ProLiteracy America's Trainer Certification System supports adult education and literacy training excellence. Trainer certification is locally driven, flexible, and competency-based. The system is designed to:

• Encourage local decision-making for selecting and developing new trainers.
• Support flexible paths for trainers as they achieve key competencies.
• Enhance the credibility of organizations in case statements made to funders and other community stakeholders.
• Improve the training process by establishing competencies for content knowledge and training skills.
• Provide support for trainers' continued professional development through the Trainer Tool Kit, networking opportunities, online courses, and face-to-face seminars.
