Enroll Your Group
Our microcredential courses cost about $1,500, meaning you can reskill or even upskill your team with minimal investment.
A 20% discount applied to groups of 10 or more.
We Do the Rest
Once you oversee your team’s enrollment in the course, they guide themselves through it.
At the end of the course, they’ll receive a transcript and digital badge as proof of completion.
Discount on multiple classes
By enrolling 10 or more team members into our microcredentialing courses, you become eligible for a 20% discount.
If you would like to treat your team or larger organization as a cohort, reach out to us. We can enroll them in the same course so they can learn alongside one another and not as part of a larger, mixed class.
