Certificate of Completion
 | Upon successful completion of the 5-week, online program, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Brown University School of Professional Studies. |
Continuing Education Units: In addition to receiving a certificate, Effective Communication participants are eligible to earn 2.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on the 21 total program hours. To understand whether and how these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training hours, and what documentation you may be required to provide, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.
There is no standardized process across credentialing bodies to redeem CEUs. If you would like to claim your Brown CEUs for a license, certification, or exam, please visit the website of the specific license, certification, or exam you are interested in in order to find guidance on next steps.
Depending on the accrediting entity you work with, our training course may be eligible for CEs, ranging anywhere from 10 (IACET) to 27 (APA). We provide you with the needed supporting documentation for you to submit independently, including: course description, objectives, and contact hours.
Students are responsible for confirming whether this course counts towards their organization's tuition reimbursement program (if applicable) or towards professional certification requirements.

“ Before Effective Communication, my nervousness was visible when I tried to speak to groups and everything would go out of my head, causing me to lose my point. This brief course did nothing short of remaking me into a dynamic, strategic and confident public speaker! ”
