About our certificates
Students who complete a course earn a Certificate of Completion from The Ayangbah Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our courses are short, practical training. They are not college degrees or accredited academic programs. Industry certifications such as OSHA, ServSafe and Microsoft Office Specialist are issued by those organizations. Prices and dates may change; see the class schedule for exact start dates.
Employers: many courses can be delivered onsite for your team. Some workers may qualify for WIOA funding, and some employer training may qualify for ETP reimbursement. Ask us what applies to you.
