Certificate Overview
Poor communication doesn’t announce itself. It shows up as the meeting that needed a follow-up meeting, the email chain that generated more questions than it answered, the presentation that didn’t move anyone to act. This certificate targets exactly those situations.
We offer partner courses alongside our instructor-led programs because not every need fits a scheduled workshop. Some professionals need to work at their own pace, around travel and deadlines. Others are working independently without a team to train with. When a course meets our standards and fills a genuine gap, we make it available here.
This certificate in business communications covers five areas: business writing, presentations, public speaking, collaborative communication, and professional correspondence. Each course is practical and scenario-based. Business writing and the correspondence course address clarity, structure, and tone in documents and email. The presentations and public speaking courses cover how to organize and deliver ideas to audiences of different sizes and contexts. The collaborative communication course focuses on the everyday exchanges that keep work moving, or don’t.
Taken together, the five courses add up to approximately 24 hours of learning. Access runs 450 days, which gives learners enough runway to work around busy periods without losing momentum.
The certificate carries 2.4 IACET CEUs and 25 credits each from HRCI, SHRM, and ATD, along with 25 PDUs from PMI. For professionals who need documentation for development plans, certification maintenance, or internal requirements, those credentials are worth noting.

Who This Helps
This certificate is a strong fit for professionals whose work depends on clear writing, credible presentations, and meeting-ready speaking, but who do not need a scheduled workshop to get there. It is especially useful for learners who routinely communicate across functions, manage projects, support clients, brief leaders, or coordinate work with multiple stakeholders.
What Learners Will Do Better
- Write emails and documents that reduce back-and-forth by making the purpose, context, and next steps unmistakable.
- Organize ideas so readers and listeners can follow the logic without rereading or guessing.
- Present information in a way that supports decisions, not just discussion.
- Speak with more control and clarity in meetings, briefings, and cross-functional updates.
- Maintain a professional tone under pressure without sounding vague, harsh, or overly formal.
How Teams Get Value From It
Teams use this certificate to establish a shared standard for writing quality, slide structure, and meeting communication, especially when work spans multiple roles or locations. Common approaches include assigning one course per week over five weeks, adding a short manager-led check-in to reinforce application, and using before-and-after samples to document improvement.
