4-6 Months
WGU Endorsements take an average of 4-6 months to finish. These can be taken by themselves if you have a current teaching license in a certain subject area, or can be added to your WGU degree program.
$$$
Endorsement programs are $$$ per endorsement, which can be added to your tuition for your degree program, or can be taken alone. Your tuition for these programs is paid per six-month term, which allows you to take as many courses as you want in that timeframe.
Timing Made for You
While many bootcamps and programs require in-person classes or set lecture times, WGU certificates are 100% online, 100% on your time. You are able to read material, watch videos, and complete assignments and tests whenever it is convenient for you and your schedule. This allows full-time employees, parents, and every individual to ensure that school fits into their life, not the other way around.
