Online Certificate Programs

You can now develop your professional skills for a new career or for your current job entirely online through The Center for Professional Development at Texas Lutheran University. In coordination with Gatlin Education Services, TLU now offers online education programs designed to provide you with the workforce skills necessary to acquire professional caliber positions for many in-demand occupations. You can chose from over 60 online certificate programs in the allied health care, computer, internet, business, travel, legal, real estate, technical, construction, video game design, and automotive industries. A team of professionals builds the programs to provide the most effective web-based learning experience. These programs have open enrollment and include everything students need, including textbooks and trained instructors. Students love the quality as well as the convenience. Programs range in time from 12 to 700 hours to complete and from $599 to $3100 in all-inclusive costs.
 
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us find it difficult to take time away from work and family to attend school. One of the primary advantages of TLU’s online programs and courses is that you can "attend class" in the comfort and convenience of your own home and/or office. These Internet courses fit into your schedule: you can take them before breakfast, during lunch, late at night, or at any other time you find convenient--the choice is yours!

Courses from this partner do not earn TLU college credit nor qualify for financial aid through TLU. Loans are available through Gatlin.

Call or email Texas Lutheran University, Center for Professional Development at 830-372-8047 or cpd@tlu.edu to receive additional information.
