The Learning Professional Certificate program awards credits for attending Elearning! Media Group web seminars and conference programming presented by experts in the field including Sal Khan, founder of the Khan Academy, Josh Bersin, Bersin & Associates and Mollie Lombardi, Aberdeen Group. DiDonato pointed out that the vast majority of the LPC qualifying sessions are free to applicants, thus helping to diminish the high cost of participating in a certification program.
The program has 5 levels of credentials; The first level starts at 25 credits (or 5 hours of education) then, culminating in a Certified Expert Learning Professional credential which requires 300 credits and an examination. One-hour webinars in the program carry a 5-credit award, while attending a one-day conference can earn 15 credits. Elearning!
