Certificate Of Achievement Requirements A “Certificate of Achievement” is issued in State approved programs designed for students who are looking for instruction with a high degree of specialization. Certificate programs vary in length, but must have 18 or more semester units, and may be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis. Career and Technical Career Education (CTE) certificate programs are usually one-year educational programs that offer courses needed to prepare students for immediate employment. A Certificate program is specific, and no course substitution will be permitted unless approved by the department. A grade of “C” or better is required in each course required for the major.

A “Skill Certificate” is issued by the department offering the certificate for programs requiring 17 semester units or less. Skill Certificates are designed for those students who have limited time, or who wish to limit their commitment to a particular field of study. Students may seek increased job-related specialization, job advancement, or preparation for new employment. Courses that make up a Skill Certificate may apply toward a Certificate Program or Associate Degree. A grade of “C” or better is required in each course required for the major. Always consult a counselor for verification.

NOTE: Departments offering skills certificates are responsible for their issuance.
