Digital Literacy Instructor Certificate Program
This online program prepares employment professionals to conduct digital skill assessments. It provides the tools and resources required to support job seekers in increasing their digital knowledge and technical capabilities.

receive a registration URL and instructor orientation,
host a group of students on the CASE learning portal,
grade assignments and provide feedback to students,
receive evaluation data from their students, and
access technical support while teaching.
