Before I get my MBA, I am trying to take advantage of all of the perks that my job offers. Presently, my employer pays for a free certification, regardless of whether it relates to my job. Can anyone suggest a certification program that would be useful in the future and not too difficult? I would prefer a program that is offered online or part-time. Keep in mind that I am currently working full-time and am taking 6 hours of graduate-level classes. Thanks a ton for your help!!

I'm thinking about the Executive Certificate in International Marketing from Thunderbird University. What do you all think? Anyone have any experience with this or other certificate programs? Thanks, a link is below.

Thunderbird's international business program is VERY well regarded. I think it would be great to have a certificate in international marketing from this school.

Moreover, going through this certification would certainly boster your candidacy to b-schools, since it demonstrates that you are truly interested/active in developing your business knowledge.

Let us know what you decide!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
