Description
PennACE is offering several professional certifications as a part of our efforts to provide valuable professional development. These certifications are focused on important affinity groups in our student populations and the work force. Pursuing our certifications will provide you with valuable information on how to support the group and resources to aid you in your work with members of this population.
Below is a list of available certification(s). Each one is valid for one year – August to August. Information on how to renew your certification will be emailed each summer. You may switch certifications year to year if you prefer to pursue a different option.
Pursuit of certifications through PennACE does not guarantee that you will successfully pass the certification quiz. If you do not, a member of the certification committee will reach out to you to discuss options.
Current PennACE members can earn one certification as a part of annual membership. Institutional members can all earn the same certification, and it can be completed as a team. Please reach out to [email protected] for your coupon code to order.
