Certificates continue to be a huge growth area. And you have more upward potential in creating and offering more certificates.
From two recent LERN events, here’s our small but first survey results on how many certificates continuing education programs are offering right now.
Half of programs said they offer between one and 10 certificates. Only 8 percent of continuing education programs in higher education say they offer no certificates. Another 29 percent of programs are offering between 11 and 25 certificates. Some 12 percent are offering 26 or more certificates.
LERN has a number of resources for you on developing successful certificate programs. They include:
– Advanced Programming Institute, offered online in September-October 2015.
– Advanced Programming Institute, four-day in-person and blended format in Spring 2016.
-Top 10 Steps in Developing Winning Certificate Programs, with Wendy Evers of California State University in San Marcos, a one-hour session on the topic at the big LERN Annual Conference in New Orleans.
–Developing Successful New Programs, a complete manual.
