About Certificate Programs
Certificates of proficiency are designed to measure your knowledge of the industry's essential skills and best practices. To receive a certificate, take the NewsU courses associated with that certificate program and then successfully complete the online assessment for each course. Once you've passed all the assessments, you will receive your certificate from Poynter's NewsU.
A certificate in "Effective Writing” from Poynter's NewsU and DuPont shows that you have a solid foundation in the essentials of writing skills, including the fundamentals of clarity, organization, revision, style, grammar and other skills. This certificate of proficiency is given to participants who have an understanding of the essential skills and best practices taught in the seven self-directed training modules.
Complete each of the courses in this certificate program, then take the assessment for each one. Questions will cover content from each course. You'll have three chances to pass each assessment. When you pass all the assessments, you will be able to print out your certificate.
Unlike traditional quizzes and activities from Poynter's NewsU, these assessments won't tell you the answers, so make sure you study hard before taking the tests.
This training package is for staffers at DuPont. DuPont staffers should contact their supervisor for information about enrolling in this package.
