Professional Development & Training is an office within the University of New Hampshire whose mission is to serve individuals, businesses, schools, and organizations in New Hampshire and surrounding regions by offering a wide range of professional development opportunities throughout the year, including:
- One-day Workshops
- Special Institutes and Conferences
- Short-term Certificate Programs
- Customized Training for Companies, Organizations, and Schools
- Online Courses of Personal or Professional Interest
Programs are designed to assist professionals in developing new or advanced knowledge and skills in a variety of fields. Instruction provides a balance of theory and practical skills that participants can immediately apply to the workplace.
Training is offered at four UNH locations plus at special off-site locations:
- Durham Campus
- UNH Downtown Manchester
- Portsmouth at Pease International Tradeport
- Browne Center for Innovative Learning
Over 250 one-day seminars and short Certificate Programs are offered throughout the year.
Seminars and Certificate Programs are noncredit, so no pre-approval to register is necessary. Each seminar awards CEUs (continuing education units) that are recorded on a transcript. CEUs attest to your professional development and may be used towards licensure and relicensure of some professions.
