The AI Certificate for Professionals is designed for professionals who want to understand and apply AI in their careers—no technical background required. Participants from all fields are encouraged to participate.

No application required—registration is open to all adult learners on a first-come, first-served basis.

All sessions are live and online, with interactive activities and breakout discussions. You’ll also have access to digital resources, recordings, and templates in Elon’s learning platform.

The benefit of this certificate is the live interaction with faculty and participants. To earn the certificate, participants must attend at least 70% of each module and complete all assigned work. Participants who miss more than 30% of any module or fail to submit required assignments will not be eligible for certification. Meeting all program requirements, including attendance and assignment completion, is the sole responsibility of the participant. Elon NEXT policies and standards apply to all learners.

• No refunds or transfers less than one week before the first class date.
• Seat transfers to a colleague are allowed up to one week prior to the first class date.
