About the Supervisory Skills Certificate Program

In today’s workplace, employees are frequently promoted to supervisory roles based on their technical expertise. However, success as a supervisor requires more than technical knowledge—it demands strong interpersonal and leadership skills. This certificate program is designed to equip new or inexperienced supervisors with the essential tools to effectively manage and motivate their teams. It also provides experienced supervisors with the opportunity to enhance and refine their supervisory skills for continued professional growth.

Certificate Requirements

This program consists of six one-day workshops, including three required seminars and three electives chosen from a number of offerings. The program is offered in Portsmouth and UNH Manchester. You are required to complete the program within two years. For those wishing to complete the program sooner, sufficient topics are offered each year.

Policies

Coursework must be completed within two years. If you are enrolled in multiple certificate programs, a maximum of two workshops can count toward more than one certificate. Required workshops cannot be waived, though substitutions may be approved on a case-by-case basis. UNH reserves the right to modify or discontinue programs at any time.

Enrollment

You don’t need to be enrolled in a certificate program to attend workshops. To have courses count toward a certificate, enroll before your third workshop in that content area. Add the certificate to your cart at checkout for a one-time $50 fee. For help, call (603) 862-7380.

Workshops are offered in Portsmouth, Manchester, and Live Online. Most are available each spring and fall, though some are offered once a year. Programs are designed so certificates can often be completed within a year. There are no set start or end dates. 

Completion & Certificates

Progress is tracked automatically in your Learn for Life account. Digital certificates are issued within two weeks. If you haven’t received your certificate after three weeks, please email us at professional.development@unh.edu.
