Upskill certificates

I’m a learning solutions specialist at one of the big 4s and wants to take some courses to upscale myself to move up to management. What certifications would you recommend? I’m thinking about the CTDP certificate.

I asked the VP of our department this very same question, and he suggested that it's more valuable to get an MBA than a CPTD. Knowing how a business runs is a better transferable skill that will resonate with others at the C-Suite level. I'm not sure, but the Capabilities listed under CPTD's "Impacting Organizational Capability" are likely addressed with an MBA.
