Program is Non-Degree-Granting -- It's Entirely For Your Learning
To grant degrees or certificates, we would need to evaluate or "grade" the results of your studies. To do that, we'd have to pay ourselves or other evaluators. To get those funds for those payments, we'd have to charge fees. Thus, the program no longer would be free.
Learning Modules
Various modules include optional sections about boards of directors. This applies primarily to business organizations that are formed as corporations. These sections can be skipped by learners who are not interested specifically in boards of directors. You access the modules via download links on the course website.
