Let us know if UMPI accepts the certificate. It's quite a pricy certificate. It doesn't look ACE approved so it will be interesting to see if it's accepted for any credit. Seems like every school today has some ecertificates and they aren't worth the paper they're printed on unfortunately. I've seen programs like this for $8K and I'm like wow what a way to rob from people.
I took this class in 2022, and I paid $1595 for it then through GreenFig. I can't believe the price has escalated so much.
My business has 2 lines of revenue: business writing for executives/companies and digital marketing. When I took the program I was going to go full-time into DM for my business (and drop the other revenue line which was my primary line) and felt the additional certifications/knowledge would make me even more competitive.
This particular certificate, was a program (multiple months) and included requirements that you had to also obtain the 3 industry certifications during the program: Google Analytics IQ, HubSpot E-Mail, and Hubspot Content Marketing on top of all coursework and extensive projects, as well as attend Live Zoom Classes weekly, including a final project where you create/execute the campaign of a company they give you, including creating the personas, the writing, the ad layouts, etc. The Instructor was an actual expert, a current Digital Marketing Company Executive with up-to-date knowledge.
I've seen some schools evaluate and accept the Coursera/Google Certificates, and this is by far, hands down, much more difficult than the Coursera/Google marketing course, due to the extensive coverage of materials, projects and certificates required.
When I applied to WGU, they transferred it in as a School Transcript Transfer to be evaluated (still waiting: I applied to WGU and then to UMPI.) WGU's process has been very slow, so I'm glad I decided to pivot and started researching, and found out about UMPI.
I'll let you know if either school accepts it, as I'm in the queue for WGU, my transcripts are pending evaluation, and the EC told me he thinks my transfer evaluation will be done this week.
