FAQs

Need help making the right choice? Speak with an admissions advisor or send them a message.

Why should I enroll in this Learning & Development Certification Program?

We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, chaotic, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Disruption is a constant threat, no matter your industry. Helping your workforce continuously expand their knowledge and skill sets is crucial, but more challenging than ever thanks to shrinking budgets and the rapid pace of change. Which skills and competencies is your workforce missing? And which should be your top priority for a learning intervention?

With the Learning & Development Certificate Program, you will gain the knowledge and skills to answer these questions and more. During the course of this online L&D training, you will develop a full set of HRD skills ranging from creating a top-level strategy to assessing skill gaps within the organization and assessing the effectiveness of the programs using data analysis.

Aside from L&D strategy, skill gaps and learning analytics, what other topics does the online training cover?

The Learning & Development Certificate Program consists of 5 individual courses plus a capstone project, so there are too many topics to cover in-depth in this FAQ. Highlights of the online course include: learning about various approaches to learning, effective training presentation and delivery, knowledge management, organizational learning maturity, how L&D fits into a broader talent strategy, informal learning landscapes, and more. You can find more detailed information about the Learning and Development Certificate Program in the syllabus.

Is the capstone project graded?

Yes! Obtaining your certificate is contingent on completing the capstone project with a passing grade. If you do not pass on the first attempt you can re-do the project. Everything that you need to complete the capstone project will be provided in the course.

Is there a fixed schedule?

No. This program is 100% online and self-paced! When you learn and how much time you spend each day, week, or month is up to. In total, you will need to invest approximately 35 hours to finish the program and obtain your certificate.

How long do I have access to the program?

In total, you will have 12 months of access to the student portal, all lessons, and learning materials. On average, members complete their (first) program in 3 - 4 months.

Is this program the right fit for me?

If you’re not sure if this program is the right fit, we are here to help you determine which program is the right fit for your goals and needs! Simply talk to one of our admissions advisors or send them an email at [email protected].

5.0Kelin Shaw from Commerce City,United States
Really enjoyed this certificate program. I learned so much and I especially enjoyed the Learning Strategy, Designing Digital Learning Experiences and the Learning Analytics courses. All courses were great, those just especially spoke to me. The videos were great, the learning materials for downloading were helpful. Overall, very glad I did this course as I'm transitioning from an operations role to an L&D role and this helped me understand my new goals and needed skill set even more.
