Optional Certificates

Our certifications are at both the course and department level.   Certifications are not just completion or participation acknowledgements.  It takes a year to earn a course certification.1  In order to earn a certificate the learner must complete the on-line training, pass the test, write2 a one-page summary of how they have applied the learning six months after taking the course (using an outline we provide), and pass the test again one year after taking the course.   You will know the material at that point.  Until then, you will have "Certification Pending."  Department certifications require a certification of each Core Course and an interview.

Personal Development

Make Your Plan Real and Integrated

It is customary to include some "personal development goals" in the corporate annual performance appraisal process.   Often, that amounts to planning to "take a couple courses" or even just attend conferences.   Your career deserves a more deliberate process of skill and capability development.   We encourage you to review our courses as well as those of universities and other training providers and set a career learning course.  Taking the most dynamic and impactful courses and obtaining certifications can show initiative and demonstrate your preparation for promotion.  We encourage you to select a career development plan that draws on a mix of our courses and these other quality programs.
