    Is this a genuine course and certificate? Their web site info seems very altruistic, but a lack of any further info suggests it could be simply a means to sell their text book.
    They are affiliated to Fairfax University - who is Fairfax and what value is this affiliation in determining course credibility?

    A better question might be "Is this certificate of any value in the workplace?" I doubt it. Degrees tend to carry weight because people have fixed ideas of what a college or university represents. (Wrongly or correctly.) But certificates? The usefullness of such a credential would seem to rely heavily on the prestige of the awarding institution. What was that name again?

    As to Fairfax, it is an unaccredited school located in Louisiana. It maintains its religious programs in Louisiana where, presumably, it is exempt from the states licensing requirements. According to its website, the rest of its degrees are awarded under a South Dakota license, which seems a bit odd given that state's crackdown on such schools. Sounds great!

    Gee, an unknown organization affiliated with (owned by?) an unaccredited school with dubious legitimacy passing out certificates. What's not to love?
