"The feedback from students has been fantastic, I was really quite ignorant of how much the students would celebrate their certifications."

Professor Stephen Marshall,
East Tennessee State University

University of Northampton

"It's never fully done and that's one of the main reasons we sought a digital partner…. you can’t just dust down last year's slide deck and carry on. It's different every year and you have to stay on top of it and point the students in the direction of exciting new material!"

Kardi Somerfield,
University of Northampton

University Canada West

"We've had some really big success stories with our internship students who have already done the certification. We have just topped 410 enrollments on our associate level, we are getting more and more students."
