Certification programs are helping people and businesses thrive amid rapid change. Discover the art and science underlying this powerful approach to skill development.

Back in 2022, our research showed that skills are a top organizational priority—and that was no post-COVID blip. 

Since then, the need to flex in response to an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) economy and environment has only become more urgent. That need has manifested in our collective approach to skilling. 

Organizations have been taking inventory of the skills they have in-house and the skills they need to meet the changing demands of work and achieve long-term viability. Meanwhile, the half-life of knowledge is shrinking—meaning the skills we learn today might not be relevant in just a few years.

Shoring Up Skills

Small wonder that L&D professionals have been under pressure to get people onboarded, upskilled, and productive—and faster than ever.

As one L&D leader shared in 2024, “The world is changing quite rapidly (more than in human history) and the shape of business, how we work together, and how work gets done are all shifting in critical ways.

Not only do we need the technical skills to make the right strategic decisions for our businesses, but we need the human empathy and leadership skills to be able to lead others to grow successfully both personally and professionally.“

Certification: Skilling Programs for the Future of Work

To meet the need for strategic skills growth in our wildly VUCA world, some of the most future-focused L&D leaders and teams are turning to certification programs. Certification programs help them develop a common language for skilling that is mutually intelligible across business units, organizations, and entire industries. 

By developing a certification program, you can equip your people with the precise skills needed to meet today’s demands—and continue growing tomorrow. From the learners’ perspective, a certification provides a fast, effective way to validate their expertise and signal to employers that they’re staying ahead of the skilling curve.

The Art and Science of Certification: Highlights from Our Live Webinar

In our recent webinar, our in-house certification program development experts Annie Hodson, Jane Fairchild, and Katie Peonio shared some of the needs and vision that led four world-class skills organizations to create their own certification programs–complete with an exclusive look into their design and development process. 

Naturally, we received plenty of insightful audience questions, ranging from use cases to learning modalities. See below for a recap: 

What’s the connection between SweetRush and the four skills-focused organizations presented in the webinar?

We’re proud partners! SweetRush is a learning agency that joins forces with clients across a range of industries to provide thought partnership, learning strategy, expertise from a deep bench of SMEs, and learning solution design and development described in all four certification programs. We partner with most organizations from the very beginning—assessing needs, ideating on possibilities, and supporting our clients all the way through program launch. But we can also step in to augment a client’s current capacities, as we did with Intel.

I love that you use a team approach that best utilizes each professional’s skills. I am dismayed to be seeing a move away from this in our industry. Do you see that too? What are your thoughts on the one-person-does-all trend?

We know a few of these one-person bands! They manage their own projects, develop their own learning solutions, create their own graphics, and manage their own technology.  

Our take is that the right approach = the right talent and the right team for each project. 

Certification program development is a massive undertaking—encompassing 13 hours of learning at the shorter end to 100 hours or more. When we’re working on such a large scale, we find that having specialized talent helps each of us work in our area of expertise, thus contributing to overall efficiency as a team. 

But we also have clients who come to us with more modest certification needs: say, an eLearning course or an ILT. If the content is stable and the solution is needed on a relatively short timeline, engaging just one or two people can help the project proceed more efficiently.  

We think of ourselves as matchmakers for the project needs and for each client’s culture, team, and business. Intel, for example, has a robust internal learning team that had already developed the internal version of their certification program; they just needed some extra help to prepare it for external use.

How can you tell when you need a certification program? Is it the amount or complexity of skills content? Hiring needs?

There are a variety of factors that might indicate a certification program is the right solution! Here are a few: 

1. You want to align a complex training experience with an end goal in mind, your industry requires a certificate or both.
   It’s empowering to learners to know that their training will culminate in a certificate validating that they have a given skill set. Their certificate allows them to share their expertise and skills currency with prospective employers and grow their careers.
2. You want to uplift the standard of practice in your industry. We often work with industry associations, like the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), as well as medical associations and nonprofit organizations, who want to support their industry with upskilling programs. These certifications are typically quite robust and have a large volume of content around these specialized skills and topics…though we are seeing a trend of some mini-certification programs!

I work with an organization that wants to develop and sell a certification program, but we’re not sure how to host it and market it. How do we figure that out?

First, let’s review the range of distribution strategies: 

• Internal distribution: This is the most common situation: An organization develops a certification program and offers the program to its own people through its LMS. 
• External sales: Developing a certification program to sell and monetize makes distribution slightly more complex. An organization might host the program on its own LMS, with the help of a payment platform that enables learners to pay online and secure immediate access. This strategy works well for organizations like SHRM, who are already well-known within their industry and have robust marketing and communication channels. For organizations that don’t have immediate access to such a large learner base and are trying to expand, working with a larger organization–for example, our client-partner Coursera–can provide access to a broader learner audience.

• External white-labeling: This option involves developing a certification program and selling it to other organizations, who then add their own branding and distribute it to learners via their organizations’ LMS platforms. 

Each of these distribution models has its own challenges, complexities, and rewards. If you’re considering a certification program, we’re always happy to help you think through your process, strategy, marketing and communications campaign, and go-to-market plan.

How long does it take to develop a career certification program?

There are numerous factors that affect the design and development timeline of a certification program. If you’re looking at a single course or a smaller-scale program, the process could take no more than a couple of months. Larger-scale programs might take six to nine months; however, we have some creative ways to launch these. Depending on the content volume and how stable it is, a staggered launch might be a possibility. 

The design and development timeline also depends on whether we opt for a team approach or a one-person band. We can also strategically augment existing teams to reduce the time to launch. 

How many hours is a typical certification program?

We hate to fall back on the phrase numerous factors again, but it depends on the volume of learning objectives we define with the client and the metrics used to assess learner competency and success. The amount of content and size of the team also play a role: We’ve created certification programs that range from a few hours to approximately 100, with teams ranging from a one-person band to an entire orchestra. 

If you don’t have access to a psychometrician, where would you advise getting an overview of psychometric best practices?

For an overview of a psychometrician’s role and what it means for your certification program or learning solution, we recommend checking out this Q&A with our resident psychometrician, Barbara Rowan. Partners like eLearning Industry, Training Industry, and Chief Learning Officer also have numerous measurement and evaluation resources available–including blog posts, webinars, and eBooks–that can help you gain a better understanding of the nature and value of psychometrics. 

If you need a psychometrician or someone with any very specialized skill set, we’re happy to start the conversation with that perfect-fit SME, consultant, or temporary team member.

What kinds of learning modalities should be used in a certification program?

It depends! Depending on whether the program will be delivered online, in-person, or in a blended-format delivery, a range of modalities can be used to meet performance objectives. From video-based instruction to simulations, eLearning featuring storytelling and interactivity, practical hands-on projects, and strategies, a well-chosen collection of modalities can help to bridge the gap between learning and daily work.

To that end, we like to incorporate as many simulations as possible into certification programs—particularly those leveraging WebXR, a web-based virtual reality technology accessible via VR headsets or mobile devices. WebXR simulations invite learners into a 360-degree immersive environment that challenges them to practice skills in authentic, immediate settings and situations while receiving real-time feedback. 

Lately, we’ve been especially excited about incorporating AI into text-messaging and conversational simulations to help learners practice soft skills related to customer service, management, and de-escalation. Ultimately, any choice of modalities should be driven by learning needs and skilling requirements. Like a constellation, no two certification programs are exactly the same.

What is the best way to get learners excited about new certificates?

Sometimes, a great topic itself can drive excitement: Coursera’s “Introduction to the Metaverse” certification program comes to mind! We knew that this buzzy topic would generate interest, and we ensured that the content was as engaging and thought-provoking as the title. 

Engaging “celebrity SMEs” to present videos—and even serve as AI avatars—can also help to generate excitement, especially for emerging areas of interest and study. 

Finally, leading with the WIIFM (What’s in it for me?) engages learners by presenting a vision of success at the finish line. Whether the certification program can help them level up in their career, make sales, build relationships, or make a career switch, working toward real-world application is energizing and motivating. In our experience, a certification program that encourages learners to create a portfolio they can leverage for future work opportunities also helps to generate excitement. 

Got a skilling need that just might add up to an epic certification program? Let’s talk!

If you haven’t partnered with a custom eLearning solutions provider before, you might be wondering how they can create impactful learning experiences when they aren’t experts in a particular industry or subject matter.

And you wouldn’t be alone. 

In fact, it’s one of the questions we are asked most often—right after how much does it cost? and how long will it take? 

Though we hear this question most frequently from clients belonging to industries that are either highly technical and innovative (think: manufacturing and tech) or heavily specialized and regulated (such as finance, health care, and pharma), it’s something we’re also asked by those in service-based industries and those who operate in a specific niche (for example, hospitality, retail, and luxury goods/brands).   

And we totally get it. After all, we are not experts in your industry (nor would we ever claim to be). 

But we are experts in our own. 

At SweetRush, we’ve been designing and developing custom learning experiences since 2001. During this time, we’ve helped more than 300 companies across dozens of industries and sub-sectors achieve positive business results with our award-winning and impactful solutions.

How is this possible?

When you contract withSweetRush for a custom learning solution, you get a custom partnership experience in which we become a seamless extension of your team. This close partnership means the solutions we create together speak your highly technical language, represent your luxurious brand, and successfully pass all the needed rounds of review by your regulators. 

But don’t just take our word for it; find out what our clients have to say about partnering with us. And read on as we share examples of our partnerships and collaborations with Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits from a range of industries. 

Our Experience: Industry-Specific

The following is just a small selection of our industry-specific custom learning solutions. Should you consider working with us, our Client Solutions team can share more examples of our work that aligns most closely with the specific challenges you’re facing. 

 

Health Care

Healthcare practitioners learn the correct way to operate life-saving “ECMO” devices. 

Our client, a nonprofit organization that supports health care professionals and scientists involved in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), needed a learning solution that would provide practitioners with up-to-date standards of practice as well as practical instruction for the correct use of the ECMO device. 

The solution: A comprehensive learning solution that develops, strengthens, and defines practitioners’ skills. 

This comprehensive eLearning solution consists of 53 modules and covers more than 80 learning objectives foundational to adult ECMO patient care. Each module features clear instructions coupled with custom motion animations that break down this highly complex topic into short, clear, actionable steps thereby ensuring the safe, correct, and consistent use of the device. The course can also be used to prepare practitioners for an ECMO Certification Exam.

 

Banking and Finance

Banking example: Bankers develop empathy for their customers by experiencing first-hand their most challenging financial needs.

Our client, a multinational financial services company, identified a unique need for empathy-building skills within its customer-facing banking employees. The client noted that 80% of the employee group were either Millennials or Gen Z and how, as a result of being younger, the group lacked the life experience necessary to empathize with those customers who might have more advanced financial needs, such as:

• Retirement 
• Large purchases (like auto or a home)
• Managing debt

The solution: A complex simulation in which employees walk in the shoes of several diverse customers and experience their financial life journeys. 

In this custom learning simulation, bankers must make tricky financial decisions as they navigate challenging scenarios. Throughout the simulation, learners experience a variety of outcomes and see how their choices affect events later on. The eLearning solution, which leverages a “choose your own adventure” format, enables employees to experience the simulation through the eyes of the customer and, in doing so, build empathy with them.

Finance example: Administrators improve communications and relationships with internal customers by upskilling their (financial) language abilities. 

Our client, a multinational professional services network, had a problem: its Finance and Administration (FA) group (administrative professionals, who provide internal support to the company’s financial specialists and teams) were not conversant in their clients (financial) language. This skill gap led to inefficiencies and miscommunication.

The solution: A compelling and purposeful eLearning experience that upskills administrative professionals on key financial concepts. 

Featuring storytelling, bite-sized content chunks, engaging animations, and strong visuals, this comprehensive learning solution met its goal to close the skills gap and improve internal customer support. What’s more, the program has also been accredited for CPE credit! 

 

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)

Building brand loyalty and a sense of belonging in a global workforce.

Joining a global company with tens of thousands of employees is an exciting prospect for most new hires, but some might wonder  how they, as an individual, might contribute and make an impact. Our client, one of the world’s largest snack food companies, partnered with SweetRush to tackle this very challenge. The task: to create an experience that would welcome new hires, teach them about the company and its history, and foster a sense of belonging and inclusion by empowering them to contribute to its future.

The solution: A unique and innovative experience that invites newcomers to bring their whole selves to work.

In this whimsical yet informative onboarding experience, new hires discover a love for the brand and its consumers, celebrate diversity, and unlock a pathway to becoming extraordinary! Centered around the theme ‘From Unique to Extraordinary,’ new hires discover how each unique individual person, product, and brand comes together to create an extraordinary company and consumer experience. New hires navigate the adventure-packed experience by visiting the “Flavor Factory,” and meet a colorful cast of characters along the way. A custom mini-game allows learners to build, dress, and accessorize their own candy-themed avatars, reinforcing the underlying themes of inclusion and belonging.

Hospitality

Corporate teams enhance their policy and decision-making practices by walking in the shoes of those they affect. 

Our client, a multinational hospitality company that manages and franchises a broad portfolio of hotels and resorts, hires thousands of new corporate team members every year, few of whom have hands-on experience working in hotels. The company’s leaders wanted these new hires to gain empathy for the hotel team members whose lives are touched by the corporate rules and policies these new team members will create.

The solution: An immersive ‘day in the life’ business simulation that shows the impact of the policies on hotel employees.

The SweetRush XR team created a VR training experience that includes a hotel tour and three hands-on operational tasks: setting up room service trays, checking in guests, and cleaning guestrooms. This “day in the life” exercise has had a profound impact on the target audience of leaders and policymakers—with 94% agreeing that the experience increased their empathy for hotel team members.

Manufacturing/Logistics

Embedding a culture of safety within the manufacturing environment.

Our client, a subsidiary of a multinational aluminum and copper manufacturing company, wanted to redevelop its existing safety training. With topics including machine safeguarding, fall prevention and protection, and working in combined spaces (to name a few), our client was looking for an experience that would embed a culture of safety and leave a lasting impact on its audience. 

The solution: An experiential learning solution that places learners in the center of the action and reveals the consequences of bad safety practices.

In this highly interactive scenario-based learning solution, learners must work quickly to identify workplace hazards and take action to prevent and avoid danger to life. Custom 3D renders of the company’s manufacturing facilities dial up the immediacy by placing learners in environments that look and feel familiar. Interactive elements ensure learners remain fully engaged throughout the experience. High-quality videos featuring interviews with real employees who’ve been involved in or affected by workplace incidents add gravity to the experience by showing the consequences of ignoring workplace safety rules and best practices.  

Pharma

Pharma sales reps close the deal with new product training that educates and informs.

Being a sales representative (rep) in the pharma industry is a highly complex role. Each rep must obtain a deep understanding of the product they are selling before they can approach their target audience of healthcare professionals and specialists. They must learn about the science behind each product including its application, benefits, and risks so that they, in turn, can educate their clients, earn their trust, and influence them to make a purchasing decision. Our client, a pharmaceutical company specializing in dermatological treatments and skin care products, needed a partner to develop new product training for its sales reps. 

The solution: A custom learning experience that sets sales reps up for success.  

This engaging, interactive eLearning experience blends storytelling techniques (featuring a 3D animated avatar guide) with informative videos and scenario-based knowledge checks to provide reps with the information they need to meet successfully with their clients and present the new product. Learners loved the experience, and key stakeholders told us that the training “felt like nothing they had seen before.”

Retail

Retail store associates increase transaction values by connecting with their customers. 

Our client, an international specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies, needed to educate sales associates in 3,000 retail outlets on its new sales model. Specifically, the client wanted its associates to connect and engage better with their customers and to inspire them to purchase more. Its ultimate goal: to increase the average transaction value (ATV) of each individual sale. With little time for sales associates to step away from the sales floor, the learning solution needed to include short, impactful lessons that would be easy to access in the flow of work. 

The solution: A mobile-first learning solution that blends storytelling, simulation, and presentation to educate and inspire. 

In this custom scenario-based learning experience, learners are immediately immersed and engaged as they meet and interact with custom 3D animated characters who represent the colleagues that teach the new sales model and customers with whom they practice their skills. And the practice is paying off: Our client measured a 15% increase in ATV in those sales regions with higher course completion rates!

Tech

Educating the public on the wonders of the metaverse. 

A unique challenge in the tech industry is the need to train people on products and solutions that are still developing and evolving. Our client, a multinational technology conglomerate, wanted to create a training program for Coursera that would teach members of the public about the metaverse.   

The solution: A video-based digital learning solution that educates and informs members of the public on this immersive technology. 

The eLearning solution features a deep dive into the technology, functionality, and use cases of the metaverse, featuring high-end video testimonials from the thought leaders, movers, and shakers pioneering this new immersive environment. In-video questions (IVQs), aligned with Coursera’s content creation best practices, check for understanding along the way. Elements such as on-screen graphics illustrate abstract concepts like the structure of the metaverse and the extended reality (XR) spectrum. 

With over 55K enrollments and counting, the program has become one of the most popular courses on Coursera’s platform! In fact, at the time of writing this article, the program has received an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from more than 600 users. Why not try it out for yourself?

Transportation

Maintenance workers perform critical checks safely and consistently.

Our client, a US national transportations service, understands that maintenance training is essential for worker safety. Its existing instructor-led training solution was, however, in need of an upgrade. These hands-on learners loved the classroom setting and the opportunity to meet with their peers and instructors but were craving some hands-on training. Our client needed a way to provide opportunities for learners to get hands-on practice without leaving the classroom. 

The solution: A cutting-edge virtual reality training to enhance the ILT experience

This fun, memorable learning activity, part of a new and improved instructor-led workshop, is filled with interactive learning experiences to ensure that all maintenance supervisors are ready to consistently perform safety tasks. Using VR, learners practice the tasks of their job in a safe, realistic simulated environment. A game clock adds an element of excitement as learners race to correctly identify problems in the garage. 

Our Experience: Nonprofit Organizations

In addition to our work with Fortune 500 companies, we also have extensive experience partnering with nonprofit organizations to create custom learning solutions via our Good Things service. 

At the time of publishing this article, Good Things has helped no fewer than 44 nonprofit organizations educate both their internal (employee) and extended enterprise audiences on a wide-range of subjects including: 

• Personal safety training for humanitarian aid workers and volunteers. Experience the training. (Note, you will need to create a free account. Once in the learning portal, search for the Stay Safe curriculum.)
• Free online learning resources and performance support tools for humanitarian aid workers in Syria. (In partnership with Cornerstone OnDemand Foundation.) Find out more. 
• Trial monitoring training to evaluate the fairness of trials and ensure that the judicial process conforms to international human rights standards for independent assessors. Experience the training.
• Training to promote adolescent and youth participation in local governance for youth-focused professionals working in government, the nonprofit sector, the private sector and related domains. Experience the training.

Our Experience: Certification Programs

More than a dozen clients have chosen SweetRush as their trusted partner for the development of their professional certification programs, including:

• An external IT certification on Coursera for a global technology company
• A certified technician apprenticeship program for a leading global tire manufacturer
• A crisis management certification program for staff at a global humanitarian aid organization
• A re-certification program for nurse anesthetists 

A qualification program for people managers developed in partnership with our friends at SHRM (The Society for Human Resource Management)

Our Experience: Industry-Spanning Content and Topics

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention our experience as an award-winning custom learning provider of solutions that cross industries and topics. This includes, but is not limited to, programs such as:

• Competency and skill development (includes both hard and soft/power skills)
• Compliance and safety training 
• Coaching and leadership development
• Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) awareness and training
• New hire onboarding
• Sales and other role-based training

I hope we’ve been able to address any concerns you may have about our ability to create meaningful and impactful learning solutions for your industry.

Service 1: Talent Solutions for L&D

Augment Your L&D Team with Award-Winning SweetRush Talent

Don’t need the full SweetRush experience? No worries! You can augment your team with our experienced L&D staff through SweetRush Talent Solutions. We’ll place talent to work as part of your team through our talent acquisition service.

One of our most popular placements is a “one-person-band”—a multi-talented eLearning creator who can do the instructional design and writing and also assemble the eLearning course in your preferred authoring tool.

How did this service come about? We heard a need over and over when working with our client-partners. We discovered many of our client-partners needed temporary L&D talent to fill gaps directly on their teams rather than working with an external custom eLearning partner. We happily filled the gaps for them in-house, created innovative workshare models, and our staff augmentation service evolved naturally.

Here’s how SweetRush Staff Augmentation has helped these L&D professionals.

An instructional designer had to take unexpected family leave and needed us to find someone to step in and cover her work for their team so they wouldn’t miss project deadlines while she was out. 

A new L&D manager needed to hire a team but wasn’t quite sure what roles she needed until she got her arms around the business needs. We set her up with a team with diverse skills so that she could safely experiment with different roles and skill sets. She later ended up transitioning quite a few of the temps to her full time team!

With years of experience shaping the right team for every project, we excel at finding superior talent and onboarding and mentoring them for success. And because we also create custom learning solutions, we deeply understand your work and the temporary talent you need.

We are thrilled to be able to help our clients with their talent management challenges.

Service 2: Good Things

A Thank-You to Nonprofit Organizations

SweetRushians are do-gooders at heart because we know that Good Things Change the World. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to help nonprofit organizations that are doing good in the world with some of our most meaningful projects.

We have unending respect for nonprofits that focus on helping others. Thankfully, we have a craft that can be applied to doing good for them (which is one of the reasons we love what we do so much). 

If we can help and participate in these efforts to help you help the world, we’d be honored to do so at an adjusted rate because we know that education- and behavior-changing messages are powerful tools.

Please reach out if we can help. If you work for a nonprofit, we are happy to offer a discount on our services. It’s truly our pleasure and our mission to help change the world for the better.

Service 3: CoDesign or CoDevelopment 

Pick Your Level of Involvement 

Don’t need SweetRush to build the entire project from start to finish? An easy way to cut costs on your custom eLearning project is to pick your level of involvement, meaning you can choose from the following scenarios below.

We design, you build (aka Phase 1 projects)

If you want to save on cost, we can help you come up with a solution design blueprint and then hand it back to you to build yourself. Developing the solution yourself is a significant way to cut costs while still getting expert help with the analysis and design portion of the process.

In this scenario, SweetRush creates the design work (blueprint) of your solution and hands it back to you, and then you build it. This usually happens in one of two ways: 

1. Collaborate on a new learning solution together
2. Reimagine your existing training 
3. Collaborate on a new learning solution together

Do you need help coming up with a new solution for a learning need? Maybe you have some content but aren’t sure what to do with it? Are you completely open to suggestions? 

If you answered Yes, our CoDesign service may be right for you! 

CoDesign is our proven, effective, inclusive (and dare we say, fun?) method of applying design thinking to learning and development. 

With CoDesign, not only do you get a team of experts to ideate with, but we also include your learners in the equation, so we design a solution that’s right for them. 

The CoDesign process begins with a live needs analysis to understand your unique business and learner needs, constraints, goals, and desired outcomes. We then take things a step further by codesigning a solution with your dedicated team. 

In this model, you and your CoDesign team ask the question “How might we…?” to solve different challenges. This open mindset and curiosity helps determine the right solution for your organization and needs. 

If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, we’d love to hear from you.

If you don’t need SweetRush for the design and you want us just for development of the solution, that’s another option. And who doesn’t love options!?

You design, we build

Do you want us to build a solution that you’ve designed? Need an extra pair of (or dozen) hands to build your blueprint? In this instance, you can hand over your design to us! YOU dream it, WE build it.

Since you’ve likely already done the needs analysis on your own to create your blueprint, we can skip that part when we step in. You have a clear idea of what you want your solution to look like and don’t need our help with analysis or ideating. We’re happy to oblige.

We’ll get right to the developing phase. We can quickly and easily storyboard your blueprint for you. Then, we’ll start developing and building to create the custom eLearning solution you’ve dreamed up.

Don’t see the exact co-development option you’re looking for? Our solutions are customizable to your needs. Whether you want us to participate from start to finish or just at the start or at the end, we are flexible and adaptable to your needs. 

So, to sum up, you have several solid options and alternatives to save cost. Better yet, each option ensures the same level of quality that people have come to expect from us but at a lower cost. 

If you’re interested in pursuing our custom eLearning solutions, let’s talk and figure out what works for you, your organization, and the challenge(s) you’re trying to solve through training. 

We’re here for you!
