Questions
Certificate questions
What these credentials are, and what they are not.
Is a certificate program the same as a degree?
No. Mini-MBA, Executive Certificate and Professional Certificate programs are non-degree professional learning credentials. They recognize completion of a short, focused program of study and do not carry academic credit towards a degree at ACLAS.
What is the difference between a Mini-MBA, an Executive Certificate and a Professional Certificate?
A Mini-MBA provides broad business and management education. Executive Certificates focus on leadership, strategy and advanced management. Professional Certificates develop specialised, practical expertise for career growth or transition.
What credential will I receive?
Learners who successfully complete the applicable program requirements receive the credential associated with their program: Mini-MBA, Executive Certificate, or Professional Certificate. Each program consists of multiple related courses.
How long do I have to complete a certificate program?
Certificate programs require you to complete all four required courses in the bundle within twelve months of enrollment. The Mini-MBA has a different structure, with six courses.
Can I take a single course instead of a full program?
Yes. ACLAS offers standalone certificate courses from USD 14.99, each focused on a single subject and completable without enrolling in a degree or certificate program.
Start with one course
If you are not sure which certificate fits, a single course from $14.99 is the cheapest way to find out how ACLAS teaches.
