Certificate of completion for your online course, coaching session, training program, live session participation. Why and how?
The tech advancements of the new era have condensed the world into one global village. We are constantly seeking ways to make things easier for ourselves.
We’ve moved teaching and learning outside the confines of regular classrooms. You can learn just about anything online these days and receive an official certificate of completion to add to your portfolio or resumé.
The eLearning industry is a huge one for both tutors and students.
Competition is stiff among tutors and online learning platforms.
It is estimated that more than 30% of American students are enrolled in at least one online course even though about 99% of these are physically located in the U.S [1].
As a coach, you must constantly seek out ways to be seen, heard, and stand out. You need to make a deliberate attempt to separate yourself from the bulk to be successful.
You will need many different tools to achieve this: a host platform, course creation tools, marketing tools for your content, and tools for certification.
Most students will appreciate a certificate of completion for their courses, online or offline. You should consider this for your online courses, coaching programs, and webinars.
These certificates of completion may or may not be used for formal purposes. This depends on your certification, experience, and accreditation status of your online school.
In the latter scenario, it can still be attached to a person’s resumé. It may come in handy during job searches and the selection process.
For you as a coach, this is simple, fun, and deeply rewarding.
