Training & Certification
What's the Difference?
Often the words training, education, certificate, certification, accreditation, licensure, and continuing education are used almost interchangeably. We are familiar with these different programs and can manage any of them. Where an organization is and what their goals are for any program is something we can work on together to make the best possible program for our clients.
With our company founder's doctoral degree in adult education, the training, certification, and accreditation functions are a passion of Arden Solutions. We believe in strong program design based on good adult education principles and practice.
