The day after I completed the program, we had a personnel issue in which I had to include our administrators, advisors, and sports staff. I was able to use my new management skills from the Academy in a real-life situation and come up with an appropriate course of action.

Bellevue University, Texas
Professional development is an important aspect within my career, so the Certificate program has been a great asset. I enjoyed the course delivery mode, having it online and asynchronous works great for my schedule as I am in a different time zone, so I can complete the courses on my own time. I enjoyed that multi-tasking was discouraged by the platform. Also, the courses are not like webinars as there are plenty of activities to click through and are quite interactive. Thank you, Lab Manager team!

I enjoyed the length of each course and that I could easily schedule them into my work calendar when it suited me best. Each year during our reviews, staff are required to show management how we continue to improve ourselves through professional development. These courses fit perfectly into my professional development plans.
