MIT xPRO courses are designed specifically as professional development courses for busy working professionals looking to expand their knowledge and advance their careers. For each MIT xPRO course that you pass, you will receive a digital course certificate. For multi-course programs, once you've earned all of the required Course Certificates, you will also receive a digital program certificate.
These Certificates of Completion acknowledge your achievement and dedication, and highlight your expertise in the field.
MIT xPRO courses and programs are not degree- or licensing-granting, and they do not carry academic credits. They do, however, award Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The number of CEUs earned for each course can be found on its Course About Page, typically within the "How You Will Learn" section, as shown in the image below—as well as in the course's FAQ pages.
MIT xPRO Course Certificates typically become available approximately 3-5 business days after the scheduled end date of your course session. Program Certificates typically become available as soon as you receive the last Course Certificate needed to complete the program. Once released, both Course and Program Certificates as accessible via your MIT xPRO Dashboard.
You can find detailed instructions for accessing your Certificates in this FAQ article, and you can view a sample certificate below:
MIT xPRO certificates are delivered in digital form only. Printed or "hard copy" certificates are not available, though learners are more than welcome to download their certificates and create their own printed copies.
