Frequently Asked Questions
A certificate program is a structured sequence of courses designed to develop both foundational and specialized competencies in a specific area of practice. Unlike standalone CE programs, certificate programs offer a comprehensive learning path and may include milestones, badges, and formal recognition of advanced training.
While this certificate is a standalone credential, many learners use it to supplement graduate training or professional licensure. It does not confer college credit at this time.
Yes. Upon completing all required trainings in the program, you will receive a digital certificate recognizing your achievement. You will also earn individual digital badges for each course, which you can display on platforms like LinkedIn or include in your professional portfolio to demonstrate your specialized training.
In addition, all trainings within the program provide continuing education (CE) credit. You will receive CE hours and a certificate of completion upon completion of each training. The full certificate program includes 50 CE hours. CE credit is available through approvals from the American Psychological Association (APA), National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), and Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), depending on your licensing board.
A certificate is a focused, non-degree training program designed to help you develop professional skills in a specific area, in this case, Digital Mental Health. It is typically shorter than a degree program and does not confer academic credit toward a college degree.
For self-paced programs, all required materials are included.
There is no expiration for the certificate or the digital badges once you’ve completed the program. Learners have access to each course for the duration of the certificate program, but course content access ends one year after you complete each course. While your credentials remain permanent, you will no longer be able to review the course materials after that one-year window.
There is no formal application or admissions process. You can get started at any time by enrolling in an individual course or purchasing the full certificate.
There are no degree or licensure requirements to enroll. However, the content is designed for individuals with a background or strong interest in psychology, criminal justice, or mental health, and some material assumes familiarity with clinical concepts and terminology.
Students currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs are welcome to participate. The program is appropriate for both advanced learners and early-career professionals.
The certificate is delivered entirely online and is self-paced, allowing you to complete coursework on your own schedule.
Most learners complete the full certificate in approximately 6–12 months, depending on their availability and pace. You do not need to take all trainings at once. Programs can be completed individually over time, and you will still earn CE credit and digital badges as you progress.
There is no required training sequence, and you may complete them in any order. However, it is recommended to begin with foundational trainings as these provide important context for more advanced topics later in the program.
Digital mental health interventions include online therapy programs, mobile apps, internet-based CBT (iCBT), and telehealth services designed to deliver mental health care through technology.
Digital mental health improves access, scalability, and flexibility of care, particularly for underserved populations, rural communities, and individuals with barriers to in-person services.
