MobileEd Certificate Programs

Does anyone know if the Certificate Program has been shut down? I know there have been some leadership changes, and part of that involved streamlining the company. I hadn’t heard anything about the CPs, but as I am finishing up my current program I decided to look at the requirements, and I cannot find them anywhere. Not only that, but I see no reference whatsoever to Certificate Programs (outside of a link on the menu that goes to study bundles. Old links I could find to certificate information only lead to this page as well.

Does anybody have any information on this?

It looks like they re renamed "study bundles"... that's disappointing. I would call them. I have several of these I was looking forward to working through.

Unfortunately none of those packages call themselves certificate programs anymore. Furthermore, the references to the programs on the menu have now been deleted, and even the certificate reference on the mobile education page has been replaced with a study bundle reference. It would seem all too clear that the certificate program is dead. Oh well, I got really good information, even if I didn't get a sheet of paper.

Isn't there some sort of relationship between Logos and Redemption Seminary? I believe you can earn an MABS. They also indicate that once you earn the MABS, you can turn it into an accredited degree via a special program offered by Kairos

I had the same question and found this post when searching on the topic. It appears to have been shut down and I have seen no notification of the shutdown to users. That is often how Logos operates unfortunately at times. They are a bit slack in communicating to users when things like this are no longer supported. I had been thinking about this program and whether to dive into working towards completing one of the certificates, simply as a motivator, as I realize on their own, they have no official academic standing and that was not my goal anyway. They have missed a couple of places removing reference to the certificate program such as in the side bar which MJ highlighted and one of the 'study bundles' still mentions the email address and what you need to do for that bundle. But for all purpose the program does seem to have been 'cancelled'. Shame but I get it generates no income for the company and takes up resources but....

It would be nice if someone from faithlife would confirm they are no longer offering the certificate program rather than just pulling the rug and leaving a little bit of dust behind and letting users work it out for themselves. It should be standard practice as part of shutting down a program that you inform the users of that program.

I emailed support and the certificate programs are indeed retired. If you purchased a certificate program, though, you can still complete it. But no new ones. Shame because I was getting a course here and there hoping to complete a certificate. Guess I'll search elsewhere.

Good to know that I can still complete. Thank you. I have a few to complete. I was also getting a course here and there toward some others.

Here is the official response from Logos Bible Software.

"Dear Matt,

Thank you for contacting us. The naming changed, we did retire the certificate program. Yet, the courses that you purchase are still available in your library.

If you recall a specific course, and can not locate them, please let us know, and we will help you find it. Just take into account no certificate will be provided after the completion of said course."
