Frequently Asked Questions

Upon successful completion of a professional learning experience, you will earn a certificate of completion, micro-credential, or both, depending on the experience. Select the one that’s best for you! 

Certificate of Completion and Micro-Credential (Facilitated courses) 
Both the certificate of completion and micro-credential are issued when a facilitated course is completed successfully. In the facilitated course, you will both learn about the topic and demonstrate your implementation of the strategies learned. An instructor will provide feedback along the way and it must be completed within a scheduled timeframe. 

Certificate of Completion (Self-paced courses) 
These are issued for self-paced courses where you can learn about a new topic or increase your knowledge at your choice of pace and location. The certificate includes the number of hours associated with the learning experience and MLFTC logo. It is downloadable to add to your portfolio and great for use towards educator recertification. 

Micro-credential (Micro-credential only) 
This is a great option if you already know the content and would like to demonstrate your skill set. The micro-credential includes the topic in which expertise was demonstrated and the MLFTC logo. By earning micro-credentials, educators can demonstrate their commitment to professional growth and excellence in teaching, which can lead to career advancement opportunities and increased job satisfaction.

Educators who complete a credit-eligible specialization can apply to the ASU MA in Education program and receive academic credit. At present, only one eligible 9-credit specialization block can be brought into the ASU MA in Education. Educators pay an additional $50 per 1-cr for transcription (totaling $450 for the 9-credit specialization) to have the credit transcripted after starting the ASU MA in Education. Admissions fees and tuition to complete the master's degree will apply. Pre-admission credits must have been taken within 3 years of admission to the ASU degree to be accepted. The complete pre-admission credit policy is detailed in the Graduate College Policy Manual.

ASU is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Arizona State University affirms that, once a CEU certificate is issued, the content and details of the certificate will remain unchanged. Learners will not receive a transcript or academic credit. CEUs are sometimes a part of the criteria used for promotion, license renewal, salary advancement, and/or renewing credentials. It is the responsibility of the learner to independently verify whether the CEU issued by Arizona State University will be accepted by their respective school, association, or board. Arizona State University does not guarantee acceptance by external organizations, and learners are encouraged to confirm the suitability of the CEU for their specific professional or academic purposes. Allow 45 days for review and processing.

ASU PELH programs are open to anyone who wants to register. If you’re looking to gain new skills for your current job, want to obtain new skills to work towards a promotion, or even want to change jobs completely, there are courses for you. To be successful in our programs, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy.

The Professional Educator Learning Hub is for all those in the field of education, and those who support educators. From community members, to teachers, to superintendents, the PELH has something to offer everyone. Don’t consider yourself an educator? We use the term educator broadly, to include those making a lasting impact beyond the traditional K-12 classroom.

Content is created by ASU faculty, in collaboration with reputable partner organizations, and/or with nationally recognized subject matter experts. No matter who created the course, the content is data-driven and competency-based for a high impact learning experience.
