WiRED International’s Certificate Program continues to attract community members in Kisumu. This go round 49 people earned certificates for the completion of modules from WiRED’s Community Health Education collection of 300+ topics. (Last year, 28 people earned certificates.) Eight people earned a platinum certificate—the highest certificate level—for having successfully completed more than 40 health modules. Three people earned gold certificates (25 modules), eight earned silver certificates (15 modules) and 30 earned the entry-level bronze certificate for completing at least five modules
The Certificate Program encourages community members to study a given module, and, when they're ready, to take a comprehensive exam on the material. To qualify, they must pass with an 80% mark or better. Certificates are not offered as accreditation, their purpose is to confirm successful completion of the training programs.
