First, they have a significantly greater understanding of how the product design industry and related careers work. Second, with the Certificate of Completion from Parsons on their resume, they differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack.
People with all levels of experience, and in all stages of their career, benefit from enrolling in Ecommerce Foundations. But you will have something in common with all of our students — a passion for creating an online retail experience and a desire to build a successful career doing what you love! Our students might already be working in the industry and looking to get ahead, or working in a different industry looking to switch careers. They might aspire to start their own e-tail business and be looking to build skills and gain valuable experience that will set them apart in a hyper-competitive market. They might be your future professional and personal network in the fashion world. They might be like you — a future leader in the industry!
All program materials can be found online. You can access and review the materials whenever you like through the course login page, which you’ll receive once you enroll — all you need is an internet-connected device.
You can access the program on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Desktop or laptop computers tend to provide the best experience.
Whenever you like — the program is entirely online, self-paced, and on-demand. That means you can study and access the program lessons whenever and wherever you can connect to the Internet.
It varies from person to person, but be prepared to work hard and to dedicate about 30-40 hours in total. Remember, you have a full year to complete the program so you can pace yourself over 12 months!
This certificate lays the groundwork for you to pursue your goals in whatever aspect of the design industry you feel passionate about. If you find that you want to learn even more about a specific area, Parsons offers a number of in-person and online program options.
