*CC Certificate:* The CC Certificate courses are professional development trainings, offered as either a 10-week online course or a one-week bootcamp. Through readings, discussions, global webinars with licensing experts, quizzes and projects, the course provides a rich capacity building experience in open licensing and training around thoughtful stewardship of openly licensed materials.
- Certificate online courses are run as asynchronous trainings, with options for synchronous discussions with copyright lawyers and open licensing experts. The participant to facilitator ratio of approximately 25:1. Online course tuition is $500.
*CC Certificate for Educators & CC Certificate for Librarians: *The Educators and Academic Librarians courses are quite similar, though they differ in the final unit of content, as well as the community discussions.
- Academic librarians will develop comprehensive knowledge in open education and open access. They will also gain access to a global community of librarians working on similar open access goals. - Educators will develop comprehensive knowledge of open education including open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy. They will also gain access to a global community of educators working toward similar open education goals.
*CC Certificate for GLAM: *The CC Certificate for GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or community groups engaged in cultural or documentary heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally accessible.
- In the CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels, working with the public domain, and more. - CC Certificate for GLAM participants will also gain access to a global community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions.
