A certificate earned by
successfully completing a series of related courses or seminars can
significantly enhance an employee’s skill level in a particular area, as
well as make an individual more valuable to one’s employer.
We encourage employers to invest in the quality of their most
valuable assets, their employees, by encouraging them to complete skill
sets that lead to professional or technical certification. Employees who successfully demonstrate higher levels of
knowledge and proficiency are more valuable to their companies, have
greater potential for promotion, and are more likely to be invested in the
company's mission and retained.
Two Ways to Create
Customized Certificates for Employees:
1. Create
custom certificates by selecting courses from our available topics
Build
a body of related courses around our existing list of topics to create a
skill set that enhances the ability of employees to perform more
effectively, handle higher levels of responsibility, or demonstrate
greater technical skills. In
addition to computer-related certificates, popular certificates among
today’s employers include customer-oriented service; supervisory
management; managing performance teams; sales skills for technical
employees; destination marketing/internet marketing; project management;
telecommunications retained; management; environmental management;
ecotourism management;
medical office management; and government office administration.
2. Create custom certificates
by selecting industry-specific or technical topics needed
by your particular organization or industry
We are happy to work with you to define a skill set that is entirely
customized for your
organization’s specific technical
needs. We identify the skills
needed to make employees
perform more efficiently while
producing high
quality work. We will work with
your content or
industry specialists to custom-design each
course to your
organization’s needs.
How much time does it
take to earn a professional development or technical skills certificate?
In order to complete a
skill set that increases one’s ability to perform at a higher level in
the workplace, we recommend an investment of 72 to 100 contact hours.
Our own condensed-form, professional development certificates range
provide 72 hours of classroom contact over six classes, each twelve hours
in length. Each class may be
divided into modules of varying length to fit the demands of your
workplace. We find that this
length and format works well for a variety of industries, within the U.S.
as well as in international workplace settings.
