I signed up. Not sure if I can I see sweet into my schedule. I plan F around and find out what is about

 

This is tempting. It overlaps just a little with my current class. Ironically, I am trying to decide if this would create any value for me.

 

I signed up. It's cohort based, so it would be amusing if the entire 5 September cohort was made up of degreeinfo dot com folks

 

Oh, man! That'd be the toughest room any professor ever had to face! Could be a career-breaker!

 

Game on!

 

The September 5 cohort started this week. So far, the course seems interesting. I noticed that the prof doing the intro lecture has the same surname as that on the business school.

 

I think this certificate is just a marketing strategy. This year FAU launched their Center for Value Creation which they named after him, plus it promotes his book on value creation.

 

I think you're right about the marketing strategy--its a way to attract attention to the center, fine-tune the course, and prime the participants for paid executive education courses.

I also think this, and his other business school centers (Columbia University, George Mason University, etc.) are part of a legacy-building program for his life's work.

If I pass the course on time, I'll have another certificate to hang on my wall of glory.

 

I got an email today. The current cohort's deadline was extended to the end of December. (This is the cohort that started in September.) They will start a new cohort in mid January. (I'm behind schedule, so I asked them.)

 

Good to know. I started this then completely forgot about it.

 

Suppose you have solid credentials like Bachelor's, Masters', Doctorate, and top professional certification. A certificate from Florida Atlantic University would not add anything to the credentials.

 

Recently, I have adopted this same mindset toward enhancing my curriculum vitae (CV) to bolster my qualifications for consulting opportunities.

 

Very true. I still think it’s really just marketing for the guy’s book. i don’t remember how far I got, but they must have taken me out of the system for inactivity. When I tried to log back in, it said my username was not found. Oh well

 

Honestly, I have been an IT Professional for over 20 years. I spent a lot of time and money to earn countless IT Certifications. When I look back, I wish I did not. I could start with the top 3 IT Certifications. Right now, I keep up with CISSP, PMP, and ITIL. I removed over 20 IT certifications that provide no value at this point. For this reason, I disenrolled from Thunderbird School of Management's free Certificate program; if I want a certificate, I need something in Management and Leadership from top-notch schools like Havard, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, etc.
