SkillSoft courseware can help you earn college credit toward undergraduate degree programs, or continuing education units (CEU) that recognize time and effort spent in sharpening professional skills.
SkillSoft courses qualify for continuing professional education credit by global programs such as the Project Management Institute (PMI), the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) and national standards groups like the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
