Online Professional Certificates through edX

We have teamed with edX to develop a series of online professional certificates that empower project management professionals with the tools they need to succeed in today's workplace.  Each of the certificates (listed below) consists of five or six individual online courses.  These courses were designed to be asynchronous which allows individuals to sign up and start the courses when they want and at their own pace.

All courses have audit versions to try out before buying.

Successful completion of all course requirements earns students 10 PDUs per course.  For a small fee, edX and UMD will issue a Verified Certificate which provides proof for an employer, school or other institution that the course was successfully completed by the student.

The Professional Certificates currently available include:

• Agile Project Management
• Product Management
• Project Management and the Art of Communication
• Re-Imagining Leadership
