It looks great, but what is demonstrated by that certificate? Forgive my ignorance, but is there any sort of potential employment benefit? Does it typically help to satisfy some other educational requirement? Is this something folks just do to expand their knowledge of a particular subject, or is this perhaps something that employers like to see from someone with a Business degree?

When you get the Certificate in official degree cover and letter package in the mail after you are done you will be glad you did. If or when Wes emails you tell him a recent graduate spoke highly of this opportunity.
He has emailed me, and has requested a phone call. I will reach out to him next week to set that up. In my email I did mention that a former student introduced me to this course but I'll bring it up on our next call also. How much of Atlas Shrugged do we read in the course? Loved Ayn Rand's book on Capitalism!!
I've also recommended this course to a friend of mine who is now homeschooling her children.
Are you able to pull out the certificate and put it into a diploma frame?

The whole book. One chapter at a time. I waited to 1/3 of the way thru to draw on paper the characters and how they are connected. Start doing it in the first chapter. I wished I had. Fiction is not my thing. Most quiz questions are on these folks. Cliff notes and the teacher's guide helped me understand the chapter, but they will not give you enough to pass the quizzes.
Yes, you can pull out the certificate. I scanned mine and put it back in the cover.

It’s not a for credit credential. You can use it to make better informed decisions in the voting booth where many vote for things that hurt them but sound good at the moment. You can use it to educate your children on the disastrous policies of government.

This sounds pretty expensive for a certificate that means nothing to either employers or universities. You can learn that stuff on your own without paying $200 for a fancy certificate.

It may have no value to you so parting with your money which you value more than the certificate probably won’t happen. But I gladly traded my private property in exchange for this amazing experience which I am valuing more than my money.
I also have no interest in transferring any more credits into my local community college so transferability isn’t something of interest at this point. The information is something I will incorporate in to my capstone project next year—so there is that benefit.
Mises just released their MA in Austrian Economics, this should also help prepare me for that if I so choose to enroll.

That's great. I am considering the MA in Austrian Economics as well.

Yes, I don't think this is something you do in hopes of getting a job.
I won't likely get this certificate, but if I DID I would display it in my office. And I would probably list the certificate in the credentials section of business partnership proposals I put together.
