About MedCerts

• MedCerts has been in the online education business for over 10 years and has helped over 25,000 individuals – including 3,300 workforce students – enroll in our programs and find better careers

• In the last few years, we’ve experienced 40% organic annual growth. This really rapid growth allowed us to join the K12 (Stride Learning) family in 2020

• We are on the ETPL approved training provider list in 26 states and have a goal of expanding to 15 more states by the end of 2021. Connect with a MedCerts Regional Workforce Manager in your state here.

Student Support

• Enrollment: Each workforce participant is assigned a personal Admissions Advisor. Their goal is to really find out what’s best for that participant and set them up for success.

– There is also a focus on expectations for the program – how many hours a week they need to dedicate, how long a program is and how many certifications exams will they need to take.

• Active Student Support: Hands-on personal Student Success Advisors are there from day 1 to provide program-specific insight and motivation for students.

– Our data-driven approach to learning ensures no student is left behind. Advisors don’t have to guess if a student needs a call – they can see when they last made progress, where they are related to their goal or if they’re struggling with knowledge assessments.

• Career Services: Our team of Career Coaches, Clinical Externship Coordinators and Employer Partnership Reps ensure students have the tools they need to find a career in their field.

– Our goal is to teach students “to fish” – we don’t want to just help them get a job, we want them to be set up with skills for a lifelong career.

Workforce Partner Support

• Case Manager Support: We have two sets of individuals focused directly on supporting our workforce partners – Regional Workforce Managers and Workforce Liaisons. They ensure you are up-to-date on your participant’s progress and can help create blended learning opportunities with local employers.

• Case Manager Services: With bi-weekly progress reports, student moment alerts and recruitment support, like local press outreach, case managers can feel supported working with MedCerts.
