Questions

The essentials

Do I have to take them in order?

No. The foundation, Mastering AI for Business, is recommended first because the specializations build on it, but each certificate stands on its own. You can start anywhere.

What exactly do I earn?

Each certificate is a non-credit professional certificate of completion, with a verifiable credential. Completing the foundation plus a specialization gives you a focused, recognized track in that domain.

How long does each take?

About eight hours of focused work per certificate, fully self-paced. Most professionals complete one over a few weeks alongside their job.

How does this relate to Herbert's other programs?

These self-paced certificates complement Miami Herbert's executive-education portfolio. They are on-demand and functional, a different format from the scheduled workshops and cohort programs, and you take them when it suits you.
