Buy a course individually

Anyone can buy an included-course title for $69 or a premium course for $129. Premium courses are separate purchases for members and nonmembers. Each purchase is for one learner, with no recurring course fee.

Short professional-development courses. Certificates record completion; they do not award CEUs, academic credit, or a professional license. Prices in USD.

Choose your area of work

Start with a foundation course, then apply it in a workshop. Each course identifies the employees it serves and a practical output to develop through the exercises. Current courses are short introductions and guided exercises, not advanced technical qualifications.
