Certifications & Learning Programs

If you’re ready to claim credibility and authority
You already know what good learning looks like, but you need stronger language, structure, and confidence to defend your decisions and earn a seat at the table.

Certifications and Storytelling are designed to build judgment, credibility, and professional leverage, not just skills.

The Sententia Gamification Certification Path

The Sententia Gamification Certifications offer a clear, practice-driven progression for professionals who want to design learning experiences that motivate real behavior change, not just content completion.

Each level builds intentionally on the one before it, following the Sententia gamification life cycle and grounding every decision in behavioral science, motivation, and adult learning practice.

ALL NEW EASY PAY PLAN.

Master Storytelling for Executives

Find the story. Shape the story. Tell it so people remember.

The stories leaders tell shape what people understand, believe, remember, and ultimately do. Master Storytelling for Executives is an intensive, hands-on experience for leaders who want to become more intentional and skillful storytellers.

You’ll learn how to uncover stories from your own experiences, identify the moments worth telling, and shape them with purpose. Then you’ll take those stories further, using tension, detail, emotion, pacing, and narrative craft to make them more compelling and memorable.

Ongoing Community of Practice

If you’re feeling frustrated or disconnected
You care about learning quality, but you’re tired of doing the work alone, reinventing the wheel, or second-guessing decisions late at night.

Game Garage is an ongoing, low-pressure space to think, experiment, and work alongside peers who take learning seriously.

The Game Garage 

The Game Garage is where ideas turn into working designs. Inside the all-new Sententia World, members don’t just talk about gamification. They build, test, and refine it.

Each week, we open the doors for live play sessions where you can try out new games, experiment with designs, explore emerging tools and platforms, and see what others are creating in real time. It’s low pressure, hands-on, and often where the best ideas start to take shape.

Alongside that, we host deeper, focused sessions that go beyond play. These are dedicated to the “how to” of design. You’ll break down specific techniques, work through real examples, and build skills you can apply immediately in your own programs.

If you’re looking for a place to experiment, learn by doing, and stay current without doing it alone, this is the community of practice for you.

Game Garage is not just a platform; it's a movement.

CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF ACCESS

Live Signature Events

If you’re ready to recalibrate and work live
You want time and space to step back, challenge assumptions, and actively work on real design problems with people who understand your constraints.

GamiCon is a live, participatory working event built for people who want to engage, not just attend.

GamiCon ATX 2026

AI + Game-Based Design for Real Learning Experiences
September 14-15, 2026

LIVE in Austin, TX

Design gamified and game-based learning with AI that people actually want to engage with.

GamiCon ATX 2026 is a two-day, hands-on design lab for L&D professionals. This is not theory. You will build, test, and refine real learning experiences using AI, from scenarios and mechanics to playable interactions.

The format is simple: short inputs, immediate application, and peer feedback. You will leave with draft designs, interaction models, and reusable prompts.

Day One is build. Day Two is test and refine. An optional After Hours experience with Rory O'Connor, Inventor of Rory's Story Cubes continues the learning through gameplay and conversation.

This is for practitioners who want to get better at the work.

Level 2 Gamification Journeyman – Singapore

In Partnership with Acorn Training

We are bringing the Sententia Level 2 Gamification Journeyman in session times that work for Asia Pacific participants for a seven-week, live online, design experience with Acorn Training on July 13 - August 24, 2026.

The program includes 12 hours of in-person instruction and approximately two hours of independent project design each week.

Upon completion, you will earn the Gamification Journeyman (Level 2) designation. Sententia Certifications are the only gamification certifications that provide recertification credits with HRCI, SHRM, and ATD, and our programs have consistently received Best in Class recognition from Training Magazine and Brandon Hall.

We look forward to being live online in APAC-friendly session times, working alongside the learning community there as we launch what we hope will be a long-term partnership with Acorn Training.
