After successful completion of all five modules, you’ll earn a digital certificate and badge from Bradley University that you can display on your resume, social media sites, and LinkedIn page. These digital documents include detailed metadata that you can show your current or future employer to help you advance in your career. You’ll also receive an electronic letter verifying you have completed 10 contact hours of professional development.
