Discover Sign Language 1
“[This course] was great! I learned a lot, and honestly plan to continue my lessons. I was able to learn basic ASL, and through this, be better prepared for any circumstances with deaf or hard-of-hearing students. It was great!

Drawing for the Absolute Beginner
“I have wanted to take an art class for years. When I saw this advertised as a fully online course for only $100, I signed up. I was very impressed by the course. The course was very well designed, easy to access and follow through. Each lesson included short, concise, very helpful videos by the instructor to demonstrate the principles or techniques. We were encouraged but not required to post our drawings on the discussion forums. The instructor provided timely and personal feedback on each post. I was thoroughly impressed with the course and will look for others to take for enrichment!”

Graduate certificate in crime analysis – PAST STUDENT
The courses weren’t just theoretical; they were practical, hands-on workshops where we learned to dissect crime data and identify patterns and trends hidden within numbers. The certificate wasn’t just about skills; it was about perspective. It challenged me to see beyond the headlines, to understand the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to crime. It taught me to be a critical thinker, to question assumptions, and to use data not just to catch criminals, but to prevent crime in the first place. So, if you’re looking for a challenge, a chance to make a real difference, and a career that’s both intellectually stimulating and deeply rewarding, I urge you to consider the Crime Analysis Certificate.
