Certificate requirements
 
Complete three out of four of the following courses:

Notice: Introduction to Database Development and Introduction to Crystal Reports have been discontinued as of March 15, 2023. Individuals who have taken these courses up to and including March 15, 2023 may still use them towards the Introduction to Databases certificate.
 
Note: All courses must be taken through Professional Development at the University of Waterloo in order to be eligible for the certificate from Professional Development.
 
Each course is six weeks long, followed by a two-week period to complete the final exam (online, open book) and you are not required to be online at any specific time. Lessons are released on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week. For planning purposes we suggest setting aside two hour per lesson as a starting point.
