Certificate Programs
A certificate level program is considered to include a higher level of learning than a regular continuing education program. To be accredited as a certificate program, a continuing education program must meet specific conditions relating to application of learning, learner assessment and the certificate of completion.
A certificate may issued only for a programs accredited as a certificate program. Other continuing education programs may issue a statement or letter of attendance.
