Program Details
Northpoint offers professional certification programs to currently enrolled students. Students work toward certifications in a self-guided program during Smart Lab, with support from teachers and education assistants. Most programs take one semester to complete.
Available programs include:
- Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint proficiency.
- Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop, Illustrator, and design software.
- MakerBot/Bambu 3D Printing: 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
- Southwest Airlines Professional Communications: Business-focused soft skills.
