Attention to detail, a passion for research, and a lust for the truth are all requisites to this program. You can choose to take the path to certification or independent brand modules for curious learners. Certification requires the completion of 10 brand courses, 5 pre-determined, and 5 electives. Each of these is accompanied by a compliance test. You will then be asked to write an essay on methodology and complete a live virtual assessment reviewing real products.
