Testimonials

Build a Workforce Full of Leaders


“The more we can arm the incoming workforce with these leadership and communication skills, the better they will be in long term. The FranklinCovey name and quality of the programs is sufficient to carry the weight of high level success.”

Jerry K., Manager, Public Infrastructure Company

“When I look at individuals joining our teams, many of whom I mentor or coach, these soft skills (leadership, communication, conflict resolution, etc.) are missing. FranklinCovey certificates listed on a resume would be a big plus and could be that differentiator to set them out from other candidates.”

Carla S., Human Resources, Large Hospital System

A novel approach to assess essential skills.

FranklinCovey’s certificate program is multi-faceted and includes three different types of certificates: completion, knowledge, and mastery. 

Completion Certificates are awarded to learners who complete a course. Knowledge Certificates assess the knowledge and higher-order thinking of a learner around the key concepts of a course and are awarded to those learners who pass a multiple-choice exam. 

The most valuable certificate FranklinCovey offers are Mastery Certificates. These certificates are awarded to learners who not only pass knowledge exams, but also demonstrate real-world application and “mastery” of program content through a portfolio submission.

Completion Certificate
(Basic)

Certificates of Completion signify that a learner has completed a course. It does not test for knowledge, competence, or impact, but rather completion.

Completion criteria can vary, but usually involves learning, assignments, and peer-based accountability.

Knowledge Certificate
(Intermediate)

Certificates of Knowledge signify that a learner has demonstrated a firm understanding of the key concepts of a course by passing a multiple-choice exam.

Each knowledge exam is multiple choice, takes approximately 60 minutes to complete, and is monitored with the support of a 3rd-party proctoring service.

Mastery Certificate
(Advanced)

Mastery Certificates are the most highly regarded certificates and signify that a learner has achieved real-world competence and has delivered exceptional results and impact.

Mastery Assessments are offered at the program level (programs require multiple courses) and evaluate a person’s knowledge, skills, competence, and results through BOTH earning knowledge certificates PLUS the submission and presentation of a work portfolio.
