Certificate Programs

The University of Utah Division of Human Resources offers certificates programs designed to increase participants’ capability and confidence in skills that are essential for professional success.

To earn a certificate, individuals must attend all required in-person workshops, as well as complete any required online courses. Participants will have one year to complete certificate programs from the date they begin, as material may be updated on a yearly basis.

Track your progress on your My Learning page in Bridge, and when you’ve completed the program requirements, a link to your certificate will be automatically issued on the same My Learning page.

If you have any questions about any of our certificate programs, please email us at training@utah.edu.
