An industry-driven and defined certificate recognizing identified core competencies and issued by an academic department upon completion of a defined set of courses of a specific duration.

Skills certificates are intended to provide preparation necessary to take state, national, and/or industry recognized certification or licensing examinations. Some may also serve as a stackable credential within existing associate degree tracks. Skills Certificates are less than 30 credit hours and are more narrow in focus than Certificates of Achievement. Please note that while skills certificates provide the instruction and training, CSN does not guarantee a student will pass the intended certification or licensing exam.

Upon successful completion of all course requirements, skills certificates will appear at the end of the final semester on the transcript, however diplomas are not issued for Skills Certificates.
