  • All participants will receive a digital certificate of completion (PDF certificate) upon completion of the Leadership Essentials Virtual Program at the online graduation ceremony.
  • Participants attending the instructor led (classroom) program will receive a hard copy of their signed certificate of completion at the graduation ceremony.
