Certificates for Creatives
We asked, you told us — professional development and lifelong learning are critical for design professionals and to advance the profession. The AIGA Certificates for Creatives were born as a result of our research findings and a partnership with MindEdge and Finasana— a leading online learning platform that offers on-demand multimedia courses. These new certificates are the first step in building the AIGA learning portfolio. Help us learn together. Join these pilot programs and be part of the buildup in action!

Lifelong learning is critical for designers, and as design association, AIGA wants to help both design professionals and the profession. We heard from our community that professional development is valued more than anything else. We also learned from our research efforts that there are some non-design specific competency gaps that designers would need to close to best position themselves to advance their careers and the overall profession. AIGA is here to help with the launch of a new pilot program that offers courses for the creative professional. We will continue to improve and build on this initiative with a lean approach, along with your support and collaboration. We encourage you to join the pilot program and please share your insights as we aim to continue listening, learning, and improving this new membership benefit.
In partnership with the leading online learning platform, MindEdge, AIGA is offering courses that will help creative professionals identify business needs and grow future goals. MindEdge has a comprehensive catalog of professional development courses and certificates for busy professionals. Through this partnership, AIGA is able to offer this benefit to members.
During the pilot rollout, all learning will be asynchronous. Once you enroll in the course, you will also have exclusive access to the AIGA course community to network, connect, and learn with your peers. Our goal is to share additional resources and offer optional activities to help customize the learning experience to your specific situation. As part of the pilot program, we will offer a few optional live sessions to meet/greet other learners and learn in action through conversations with your design peers.
Registration is simple, just follow the steps below:
1. Select your course, pay, and you'll receive an automatic confirmation/receipt with instructions on how to start learning.
