Thank you for your interest in the certificate learning paths program.
Enrollment in the existing certificate program is on hold at this time. However, you can still take several individual courses within the certificate paths through the L&D Virtual Learning Room. Some of the certificate courses previously offered will be available once we resume in-person sessions sometime in the future. We continue to monitor the heathy and safety challenges of the pandemic.
We are excited to share that our team is working on redesigning all of the certificate programs as a new hybrid model with blended learning opportunities to reflect the needs of learners in the new world of work. We plan to launch the new hybrid certificate programs in 2022.
