The certificates you choose will depend on the areas in which you wish to build expertise or to review and update skills and knowledge. You may wish to:
- Pair CRTWCR with CSWRTW to build foundational RTW skills with strong communication abilities.
- Pair CDMPAE with CDMLPE to blend program administration with legal/policy expertise.
- Combine CRTWCR with CSWRTW with CMLPE for a strong foundation in RTW and awareness of the legislative and regulatory challenges that can arise in RTW planning and implementation.
- Combine CRTWCR → CSWRTW → CDMPAE to obtain a well-rounded body of skills and knowledge moving from frontline skills to people management and then to program leadership.
Further suggestions for sequence:
- Students should start with CRTWCR for a strong practical RTW foundation, pairing it with CSWRTW to build stakeholder and communication skills, or with CDMLPE if legal and compliance knowledge is a priority. For those aiming at leadership, the strongest combination is CDMPAE + CDMLPE, blending program administration with legal/policy expertise.
- A well-rounded 3-certificate sequence is CRTWCR → CSWRTW → CDMPAE, moving from frontline skills to people management and then to program leadership. Managers who need to step into oversight roles quickly might prefer CRTWCR → CDMPAE → CDMLPE.
- If your goal is to complete all four, the most logical progression is CRTWCR → CSWRTW → CDMLPE → CDMPAE, ensuring you build practical, interpersonal, legal, and strategic capabilities in a natural order that maximizes both job readiness and career advancement.
