Certificate courses are bundled workshops and lessons and last 4-12 weeks. These courses include weekly quizzes, and a final review test with a pass/fail result. Participants who pass the final review will be issued a certificate from UpSkill Legal with the date of completion and summary of content studied. These can be submitted with course overview materials for some continue education programs.
