Certificate of Completion
The UO Sustainability Leadership certificate can be a valuable asset to demonstrate to prospective or current employers that you have gained the knowledge and skills required to help an organization incorporate sustainability measures. Learn more about who are the certificate recipients and what organizations they represent.
How to obtain the Certificate of Completion
To be awarded the Certificate, participants must attend a total of 65 contact hours of training. Participants can choose topics and session formats that best suit their educational goals. For example, a full-day workshop 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. has a one-hour lunch break and therefore counts as 6.5 contact hours. An executive session is 9:00 a.m. to noon and equals three contact hours, and so on.
Please explore the details about formats and fees, and the schedule and description of each workshop session.
Details
The Certificate of Completion is very flexible, formatted to accommodate the diversity of our participants' goals and locations.
- There is no application process. You simply begin by taking a workshop and then consult with our staff to determine if a Certificate of Completion is of benefit to you.
- There is no required sequence for taking the workshops or for completing all of the requirements. If possible, you will want to begin with the "Foundation" session, but it is not mandatory.
- There is no time limit for completing all of the requirements. The certificate can be completed within one year. It is recommended that the certificate is completed in two years.
- There is no exam at the end of the process.
Special Arrangements
- Up to 20% of educational activities may be “transferred” from non-UO Continuing Education programs, with prior approval (maximum equivalent of 13 contact hours).
- Teaching workshops within the program may apply for up to 20% of the requirements, with prior approval (maximum equivalent of 13 contact hours).
