“Jobs are being rewritten. The people who thrive learn faster than the job changes,” said David Rogier, founder and CEO of MasterClass. “That's why we built MasterClass Certificates: practical reps, portfolio-grade work, and a credential that actually means something from people who are changing the world.”
Professionals today aren't just looking to learn-they're looking for ways to prove they can apply what they've learned to make a real impact on their business. According to a recent survey by MasterClass and the Harris Poll, more than half (56%) of professionals worry their skills will become irrelevant due to how quickly industries are evolving, and about one in two (54%) say they wish their employers offered more support with AI training. With AI and other innovations reshaping nearly every field, two in three people surveyed (66%) are proactively taking it upon themselves to learn how to use AI effectively at work.
MasterClass Certificates meet that need head-on. Each course is built with industry leaders, allowing professionals to learn from those who are driving the future of their fields. Learners will get access to real strategies, tools and playbooks applied by leading companies and organizations.
Each course will include:
— 15 to 20 hours of content, including video lessons where expert insights meet cinematic storytelling, and interactive readings and assessments to reinforce learning. The content focuses on skills learners can apply immediately in their current roles or for career advancement.
— A personalized, high-impact capstone project that is built for the roles learners want, reviewed for quality and, upon completion, will be ready to share with employers or clients.
— Actionable AI feedback where learners can engage in practical scenarios and receive real-time input to refine their knowledge and skills.
— A shareable certificate that signals learners' skills, ambition and readiness-designed to stand out on LinkedIn and in interviews.
