Liked my program and liked having something to add to my LinkedIn profile. I think that one of their credentials can definitely make a positive difference in your job applications especially if you are interested in breaking into a new industry/discipline.

I got a certificate in something other than my college major which I thought would be useful for making myself look like a more well-rounded job candidate. I also thought the program was honestly really affordable and not prohibitively complicated.

As someone already working full-time

As someone already working full-time, I see Katzberg as a practical way to stay competitive for promotions and advancement. Employers notice when you’ve made the effort to keep building your skills, and having a certification listed under skills and certifications on my resume shows that I take initiative outside of my day-to-day role. The content itself was straightforward and easy to manage with my schedule, but the real value is in how it positions me compared to others who may only rely on their years of experience. For the price, it’s a smart way to make sure I’m not overlooked when opportunities for raises or promotions come up.

I think what Katzberg does best is bridge the gap between college and the job market. My classes give me the theory, but Katzberg provides a practical credential I can actually use to stand out. I like that the programs are flexible and not too time consuming, because I work part time and don’t have the option to pursue an extra minor. Getting an emphasis on my Katzberg certificate also gives me a specific program to show that I’m serious about working in and knowledgeable of a specific industry, which I would never have been able to do just from my coursework alone. It doesn’t replace a degree, but as a complement to one, it’s worth a lot more than what it costs.

Katzberg is one of the few programs that actually feels like it was designed with students in mind. The certification is something I can point to on my resume and cover letters, but more than that, it gives me something to talk about at career fairs and in interviews. I’m a first-generation student, and I don’t have the time or connections to land multiple internships. Katzberg lets me still show initiative and industry knowledge, which I think really matters to employers. For the cost, the value is incredible, and I plan on keeping this certification on my resume for years.

I really liked my Katzberg Institute certificate program. I actually appreciate that they are not accredited, because I don’t think that they want to be. They emphasize career development, career advancement, and the development of skills as basically what they are selling to their customers, and I appreciate that straightforwardness.

Overall a good experience

Overall a good experience. The coursework itself wasn’t overly challenging, but honestly I liked that it was manageable on top of my regular school load. The real value for me is how it looks in my application materials. I’m not sure it will be a game changer by itself, but as one more piece of evidence that I’ve gone beyond the basics, I think it will make a difference when employers are reviewing resumes.
