About Medcerts
MedCerts Mission
MedCerts is a leader in online healthcare and IT certification training. Our programs are state-of-the-art and custom created through the collaboration of our in-house production team, industry-recognized subject matter experts and education technological design team. Since 2009, we’ve been focused on creating in-demand careers and applicable job skills for our students through nationally recognized programs accredited by credentialing agencies and national employers.
We’re bridging the gap between our students, job seekers, employers, higher education institutions and workforce agencies. Our multi-faceted approach lowers the barriers of entry to 2- and 4-year universities, tailors student training to the specific skills employers look for in hiring or upskilling current employees and effectively fills workforce vacancies. Our mission is to build a workforce network and affordable talent pipeline for all involved.
Our Vision
We envision a future where adult learners can pursue a new career or higher education without lifetime debt, where employers can build talent pipelines of skilled, qualified talent – and ultimately where the workforce vacancy crisis is eliminated.
We will accomplish this by expanding our program offerings, building on our learner-centric student outreach and continuing to grow our partnerships with healthcare employers and academic institutions.
