Help me choose a certification program!?

by SigGolfer » Tue Aug 28, 2007 8:04 am
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.
