Learning Facilitator Credential Program

Thank you for your interest in the Learning Facilitator Program! All our cohorts are full at this time, but please fill out the inquiry form at the bottom of this page to be contacted when more cohorts are available. Due to the large number of applicants we had, the next cohort will likely be next summer or fall. If you would like to take a course at EMCC in the meantime you can fill out our free online application at emcc.edu/apply and email admissions@emcc.edu with any questions about admission and enrollment in the college.
