Students can earn 80+ industry-recognized certifications across IT, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Construction, and Business fields. These include CompTIA, Adobe, Microsoft, AWS, OSHA, NCCER, AMCA, and many other industry-standard credentials.
Certifications range from foundational (like IC3 Digital Literacy and OSHA 10) to advanced professional credentials (like AWS Solutions Architect and Cisco CCNA). Students can stack certifications to build increasingly valuable skillsets, starting with entry-level credentials and progressing to specialized expertise.
Yes. All certifications we prepare students for are recognized by employers and professional organizations nationwide. These are the same credentials that working professionals earn to advance their careers.
Our certification partners include CompTIA (computing industry standard), Adobe (creative professional standard), AWS (cloud computing leader), NCCER (construction industry standard), and AMCA (healthcare certification leader). Employers actively seek candidates with these credentials because they demonstrate verified, job-ready skills.
Most students earn entry-level certifications in 40-120 hours of study, typically 8-16 weeks in a structured program. Advanced certifications may require 6-12 months of preparation depending on prior knowledge and study pace.
Timeline varies by certification complexity and student background. OSHA 10 can be completed in 10 hours, while AWS Solutions Architect or Cisco CCNA typically requires 200+ hours. Our adaptive learning platform allows students to progress at their own pace, accelerating through familiar material and spending more time on challenging concepts.
Most certifications remain valid for 2-3 years and require renewal through continuing education or re-examination. Some certifications (like OSHA safety cards) never expire, while others (like certain healthcare credentials) require annual renewal.
We help institutions plan recertification pathways as part of workforce development programs. Many professionals maintain certifications throughout their careers by taking periodic refresher courses or earning continuing education credits. This creates opportunities for institutions to serve both initial certification students and working professionals seeking renewal.
