What Program Alumni Say
“The Advanced Certificate in Behavioural Insights offers an amazing opportunity and hands-on methodology to rethink how we invite people – employees, citizens, clients – to make and implement the best choices for their health & wellbeing. The faculty do an amazing job of establishing cohorts and capstone project teams to promote cross-functional, collaborative learning on complex but accessible topics in behavioural science theory and methodology. It was inspiring to see the different real world contexts and problems the teams within my cohort tackled with BI methods, and I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned to building and transforming systems that better support the community I serve!”
