Certificate Requirements
Effective January 2015, courses can only be applied to one certificate. If a core course for a certificate has already been applied to a previously-awarded certificate, then an additional elective must be taken.
Certificates must be completed within 6 years; courses completed more than 6 years ago may not be applied toward certificate.
All courses applied to a certificate program must be taken from Georgia Tech.
This certificate does not require an application.
How it works
Your path to achievement is easy! Most certificate courses are offered in classroom locations around the U.S. You can also inquire about training at your location.
Cost
Course load determines the cost of a certificate program.
Calculate your total by identifying the courses needed and tallying individual course fees. Some programs offer discounts for course bundling.
Registration
Select a certificate program, review the requirements, and determine your timeline for completion.
Add courses to your shopping cart for purchase as you are ready to take them, or as a bundle if desired.
Proceed to checkout to complete your registration. We accept multiple forms of payment including credit card, purchase order, a private loan (upon request), and VA benefits for certain programs.
Completion
Certificates must be completed within six years.
After successful completion of most individual courses, a Certificate of Course Completion will be sent.
Upon verification, GTPE will email your transcript and mail your Certificate of Program Completion. Some programs host a certificate award ceremony during the final course.
Once you earn your Georgia Tech Program Certificate, tout your success on your resume and LinkedIn profile, share with your employer, and celebrate an important career growth achievement!

Why Choose a Certificate?
Why Choose a Certificate?
Professional Certificates are ideal for developing new skills and building deep expertise in a specialized area to update your professional profile, advance your career, or broaden your knowledge base.
Certificates are an “anytime” credential
Start anytime - after graduation or later in your career - and gain deeper know-how in a specific area without the commitment to a degree.
Certificates demonstrate commitment
The dedication of time to earn a certificate demonstrates that you are committed to achieving a higher standard of professional knowledge in your industry.
Certificates provide immediate “ROE”
Georgia Tech learners master real-world skills and apply them to their career the day after completion.
Certificates stand out on your resume
A Georgia Tech credential carries the professional weight to give you a competitive edge.
