Supervisory Skills Certificate

 

As you may know, POD is currently undergoing a reorganization that includes sunsetting POD’s self-sustaining Quarterly Courses and related programs, including our certificate program.

If you’re enrolled in the certificate program, you should have received and responded to an email about options for completing if you have four or fewer certificate requirements left.

Even though the certificate program is being retired, its value remains. Successful completion of a certificate will continue to count as six months of supervisory experience when you apply for related jobs at the UW.

Receive a certificate

Upon completing certificate requirements, email pod@uw.edu for a training history review. Include:

  • Your full name
  • Your Employee Identification Number (EID #)
  • Your UW NetID
  • Your campus box number
  • Your daytime phone number
  • The certificate(s) you have completed
  • If you are a UWMC or HMC employee

POD will present you with a letter and formal certificate. (You’ll be contacted if you have not completed all requirements.)

Understand certificate credit

Certificate requirements are subject to change. If you complete your certificate within the required five-year timeframe, POD will honor requirements that were in place when you began your certificate. Contact POD with any questions about certificate requirements.

UW Human Resources employment specialists and recruiters will credit successful completion of the Supervisory Skills Certificate as equivalent to six months of work experience. This experience will be considered when determining if an applicant meets the minimum qualifications for a supervisory position at UW.

Please note:

  • POD does not allow certificate candidates to challenge courses or receive credit for skills already developed through life or work experience.
  • POD does not award certificates for individual courses or for partial completion of certificate requirements.
  • POD certificates are for current UW employees only. Professional & Continuing Education offers certificate programs for the general public.
