Certificates and Courses
Certification requires passing an exam and awards a credential upon successful completion of exam (ex: PMP, GPHR, SPHR). Certification also requires re-certification to stay current in a specific area.
A certificate represents completion of courses/program in a specific area. There is no requirement to take a program more than once.
Many of eCornell’s certificate programs count towards professional credits. We have been approved for re-certifications for the following associations:
- HRCI – HR Certification Institute (http://www.hrci.org/)
- PMI – Project Management Institute (http://www.pmi.org/)
- CME – Continuing Medical Education (http://www.ama-assn.org/)
All courses in our certificate programs are taught 100% online through eCornell’s online learning management system.
Courses contain learning modules that feature interactive discussions, video / text lectures, quizzes, case studies, course projects, and a variety of online tools to ensure satisfactory understanding of subject matter.
Courses normally start every two weeks. Speak with one of our enrollment counselors now or request more information via the icons below.
As Cornell University’s professional education unit, eCornell offers a robust learning experience unlike any other. While many online course providers offer “certificate programs,” you will find a wide range of variability in the quality and rigor of the programs. With minimal human interaction and feedback, these programs are often little more than self-paced, click-through learning experiences that may not challenge you or enable you to achieve your goals. When you want IMPACT, choosing a program that provides structure, support, and engagement is a proven path to success.
