Here are a few slides I provided as an added bonus to the ASTD Training Certificate program in San Francisco Nov 2011

1. ASTD Workshop Poker
• What's Good?
You can earn a maximum of 10 cards. The order of hands, best to worst, is as follows:
• Five of a Kind - A five of a kind (we are using multiple decks) is the highest possible
hand. If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher card wins (Five Aces beats
five kings, which beat five queens, and so on
• Straight Flush - Five cards, same suit, in numerical order - and the higher the order, the
better the hand. A, K, Q, J, 10 being the best.
• Four of a Kind - The name says it all - four cards, same value, different or same suits.
• Full House - Three of a kind, and a pair, (eg. A, A, A, 5, 5)
• Flush - Five cards in the same suit, but not in order. (eg. Q, 9, 5, 3 2 of Hearts)
• Straight - Five cards in order (eg. 7, 8, 9, 10, J) but not in the same suit.
• Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same value, different or same suits.
• Two Pairs - Two sets of two cards of the same value, (eg. 4, 4, K, K).
• One Pair - 2 cards, same value.
• High Card - This is any hand which doesn't qualify as any one of the above hands. If
nobody has a pair or better, then the highest card wins.
• Tie Breaker - If multiple people tie for the highest hand, then go to the first highest
extra card, second highest, etc.

2. ASTD Competency Model
Roles
The nine are groupings of targeted competencies. They
modules of the are not job titles. An individual’s job may
ASTD Learning encompass one or more roles, similar to different
System and "hats" that one might have to wear.
CPLP exam
align to the nine
AOEs.
Areas of Expertise (AOEs)
are the specialized knowledge/skills an
individual needs over the foundational
competencies. An individual may need
expertise in one or more areas.
Foundational
Competencies
define relevant behaviors for
learning and performance
professionals to varying
degrees.
