  1. Mentors and Student Leaders Prepared for their Roles: The training required to earn the Peer Mentor Certificate and Student Leadership Certificates give students the basic skills needed to succeed and excel in their roles.

  2. More Effective Program: Providing quality training to mentors and student leaders is the first step of excellent peer leadership programs and student-led organizations.

  3. Certificate of Preparation: Having a certificate means that a student has training and experience to work in a peer mentor and/or student leadership role on a college campus, even if they transfer between schools.

  4. Career Readiness: Students who receive training gain career readiness skills, and the certificate serves as a talking point to discuss how their campus experiences have prepared them for the workforce when interviewing for internships and jobs post-graduation.

How does certification work? Course + 25 Verified Hours

To certify, students take a certification course in one or both of the two topics offered: Peer Mentoring or Student Leadership. Students then complete a short application for their national college peer mentor or student leadership certification after completing the course and 25 hours of peer mentoring or leadership (verified by a supervisor).

What is the difference between CRLA certification and Eduology certification?

Eduology certifies the students who are in mentoring or leadership roles on college campuses. Even if a student does not mentor or lead within a CRLA-certified program, they will receive the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their roles. They will also have the certification to refer to in applying to internships and jobs post-graduation.

CRLA certifies college mentoring programs. Eduology and CRLA are not associated with each other, but Eduology highly recommends checking out CRLA’s website and mentoring program certification. It’s top notch and provides the national standard for college mentor programs, including the training components.

The connection between the two certifications is that the topics of the two Eduology certificate courses align with the recommended topics laid out by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) for Level 1 and Level 2 certification*.

What is the cost?

Each course registration is $99/student (10% discount for groups of 10 or more). Each course includes an 8-hour, online, on-demand course with 14 short units plus 4-6 hours of additional video training for a more in-depth look at topics of interest. The courses include readings, activities, videos and mentoring/leadership resources.
