Online Certificates
Description
Designed as a Train-the-Trainer program, this self-paced online course is a series of three self-paced, integrated sections on best practices in training that can be completed in three hours. Developed in collaboration with our Network Alumni Training Board, the certificate covers core competencies in these key areas:
- Preparing for Success in Training
- Curriculum Design and Implementation
- Assessment and Evaluation
Successful completion of the Train-the-Trainer certificate program will certify trainers as members of the Network’s Trainers Hub — and provide opportunities to work with organizations to conduct in-person trainings or online webinars, review online courses, serve as online course authors, and provide consultation to a wide variety of BUSSW clients.
The Trainers Hub provides opportunities to work together with The Network for Professional Education at BU School of Social Work on our important mission to further develop the competencies and skills of the health and human services workforce.
* Available to all members of the BU community, including alumni, BUSSW faculty, instructors, advisors, and certificate graduates of our CADER and online CBT programs.
