The business world has immensely changed in the past 10 years. To stay competitive, employees and job seekers need to continuously work to improve their knowledge, but that doesn’t always mean getting another degree. Available through [your organization's name here], UGotClass courses are 100% backed by the Learning Resources Network, the world’s largest non-profit dedicated to lifelong learning. By completing a UGotClass course or earning a UGotClass certificate, youcan earn CEUs and guarantee to your (future) employer that you learned from an expert instructor and were able to demonstrate your knowledge.

LinkedIn is one of the best resources for you to compile all of the great things you've accomplished that might not fit on your resume.  There are two ways that our programs can be added to your LinkedIn profile.

Under the Education Section
