The Applied AI for the Workplace microcredential provided practical and thoughtful guidance on integrating AI into my day-to-day work in ways that are both effective and practical for a research environment. I especially valued the focus on using AI responsibly to improve efficiency and support tasks such as knowledge synthesis and knowledge translation, while reinforcing the importance of critical thinking and professional judgement when using AI in professional practice.

I recently completed the UPEI Professional Development Certificate in Project Management program and really enjoyed it. The program was extremely valuable and provided me with a great foundation to different project management concepts, tools and techniques, and most importantly, how to integrate them into my day-to-day work. David, our instructor, was extremely knowledgeable and able to apply complex concepts to real-world experiences which helped in understanding the material. David's course was very interactive and provided lots of opportunities to practice different skills in a group-setting. The Certificate introduces a number of concepts from the Project Management Institute (PMI), and this was essential in helping me to prepare to write the Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam. I would highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in project management, or if someone is considering taking the PMP exam.

“Probably one of the best sessions I have ever been to. Shannon [Snow], our facilitator, was extremely knowledgeable, poised, welcoming, and created an open and safe environment for learning and discovery. Be an Ally! Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Workplace was also so well-balanced in teachings, real-life stories, and discussion. I will be recommending this course to others!”

“I recently completed the Project Management Certificate program through UPEI and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The course content was thorough and well-organized, with a focus on practical applications and real-world scenarios that made it easy to see how the concepts could be applied in my own work. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their project management skills and advance their career.”

"Before taking the Executive Administration Certificate, I felt I was organized, but really I was all over the place! The course structure is well built, and by putting into practice the tools and tips that I have gained from the instructors and fellow participants, I have regained focus, and organizing my day at work and home and accomplishing those tasks no longer seems daunting. There is essentially no feeling like that of accomplishment!”

- Amanda Pritchard, Executive Administration Certificate

“I believe the UPEI Case Management Certificate program has proven to be an essential core learning opportunity for anyone working with clients where case management is integral to the success of the client reaching their full potential. The theory and interactive components of the UPEI Case Management Certificate program provide a comprehensive knowledge base that facilitates the best possible outcomes for clients who require collaborative case management supports. The UPEI Case Management Certificate program has been identified as required training for all Coordinators of the Social Programs Division with the Prince Edward Island Department of Social Development and Housing. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who works in a social service case management setting or whoever may be considering a career in this area, you will not be disappointed!”

“This was my first class with UPEI in the New Managers program. UPEI did a great job at sending out emails prior to the classes starting so we could get set up and test our equipment. Everyone was great to deal with and Laura did a great job conducting the class. The classes started and it was a great platform, even if you didn't have a mic or a video camera you were able to interact with the break-out groups. Enjoyed the experience and this is a great way to learn.”

– Lorraine Thompson, New Managers Certificate 

“I strongly believe that if you are considering moving into or have been placed into a Manager’s role that the New Managers program is extremely helpful. I acquired many ideas and helpful hints in dealing with difficult situations and people. I feel much more confident with decision-making and I am not as stressed as I was before I took this course. I had a really good experience that I really enjoyed.”
