These foundational courses provide an opportunity for participants to appreciate the context and breadth of institutions beyond their personal and professional experience.
Upon successful completion of a course, participants will be awarded an UPCEA-backed badge. Courses can be taken individually and in any order. Each course is four weeks long. Foundations courses can count towards the PCO Pro certificate (at least two from this series are required).
