Common Questions

Everything you need to know
about earning your certificate.

Do I need prior technology experience to earn a certificate?
No experience is required for any Elevate certificate track. Our instructors are trained to teach digital and AI skills to beginners. If you have a phone or computer and the willingness to learn, you qualify.
How long does it take to earn each certificate?
Each individual certificate track takes 4 weeks to complete. The full Elevate Certificate, which includes all three tracks, takes 12 weeks total. You can enroll in individual tracks or the full program.
Are the certificates free?
Yes — completely free. There are no application fees, no tuition, and no hidden costs. Every seat is funded through grants and philanthropy through Megan's After Party Foundation.
Can I add my certificate to LinkedIn?
Yes. Every certificate issued by Elevate comes with a shareable digital credential you can add directly to your LinkedIn profile under Licenses & Certifications, include on your resume, and share with employers.
What is the difference between a track certificate and the full certificate?
Each track awards its own standalone certificate when you complete it. The full Elevate Certificate is a higher-level credential awarded only when all three tracks are completed, and comes with employer introductions and a full professional portfolio.
What if I can't complete the program?
Life happens. If you need to pause or withdraw, we work with each participant individually. Completed track modules are saved and you can re-enroll in a future cohort to continue from where you left off.
