FAQ

  • Each Certificate program lasts for six months. Each month, you will be given access to the learning block that needs to be completed within that month. The majority of the program is asynchronous with 1 hour monthly being synchronous. There are multiple time options monthly for the 1 hour synchronous requirements.

    In each learning block, you will have 2-3 hours of content videos to review on your own time. There will be discussion boards based on the content, also to be done on your own time. Lastly, there are Reflective Practice Spaces each month. These are your only live sessions that must be completed. You only need four hours of Reflective Practice Spaces to complete the cohort, with these four hours being across four learning blocks.

  • If you can commit 3-4 hours monthly toward the course, you will be successful. There is only 1 hour of Reflective Practice that is synchronous each month, with multiple time options for that time.
