Frequently Asked Questions

MIT Professional Education, directed by the School of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), offers short online programs for professionals worldwide through Professional Certificates. These programs, guided by MIT faculty, aim to provide high-quality online learning services. To ensure program accessibility in different languages, MIT Professional Education collaborates with Global Alumni, a European-American EdTech specializing in online learning services from renowned universities worldwide.

Faculty-led webinars and Learning Facilitator's office hours serve different purposes within the program. Faculty-led webinars are conducted twice per course, at the beginning and end, where MIT faculty introduce and conclude the topics covered. On the other hand, Learning Facilitator's office hours, led by subject experts, are held weekly to review and delve into each weekly module. These sessions aim to assist participants in assimilating and deepening their understanding of the course material.

The Impact Project is a collaborative project that spans the entire duration of the certificate program. The aim of the project is to identify a problem, propose a solution, and employ the tools acquired through each course to demonstrate actionable methods to arrive at the end goal. In this way, this project ensures that participants have the opportunity to reflect on the covered topics, apply and link new knowledge from each program within the Blended Professional Certificate. The impact project culminates with a final pitch presented at the MIT Campus during the second residential week.

During the Blended Professional Certificate journey, participants attend two on-campus residential weeks: one at the beginning and another at the end. These weeks involve masterclasses led by MIT Faculty, campus tours, expert speaker sessions, networking events, and more. The second residential week concludes the experience by presenting the Impact Project and celebrating with a Certificate Award Ceremony. To learn more, download our Residential Week Brochure here and watch this video here.

The "Blended Methodology" in our Professional Certificate Programs offers a comprehensive 360º learning experience. It combines online, live-online, and in-person sessions. The online component includes course content, activities, and discussion forums available on our Virtual Campus. Live-online sessions consist of webinars with MIT Faculty, weekly Office Hours with learning facilitators, and career advising sessions. These sessions are recorded and accessible on the Virtual Campus for participants' convenience. The in-person component involves attending Residential Weeks on the MIT Campus, where participants engage in face-to-face masterclasses with MIT Faculty, listen to guest expert speakers, and participate in various networking activities.
