Why earn the Honors Distinction

The Certificate of Achievement with an Honors Distinction is the highest and most reputable form of a certificate you can earn. Employers tend to respect this version, and it is the only form recognized by certain companies. While the Certificate of Completion demonstrates initiative to learn more about a given subject, it does not prove that you engaged with the subject on a deeper and more exploratory level.

You can go on to the next module without completing an assignment. If you have any issues, email learn@dowprograms.com.
