eCornell Avis 

Writing is a skill shaped by others. That is, to grow as a writer you need to have instructors with insights and experience to show and teach you what good writing looks and sounds like.
At eCornell, on-line plus live sessions, you receive excellent handouts, criticism that guides you to better writing, support and encouragement. You also start to write everyday.
So is it worth the money?
If you want to write better script, tell a better story, and build better skills. Yes.
Emphatically yes. But more important, is that the course materials, videos, facilitators guide and help shape your writing.

The modules were engaging, relevant, and easy to apply. I especially appreciated the opportunity to work through the course using my own projects, which made the material more meaningful and practical.

Completing the Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management certificate at eCornell was a genuinely rewarding experience.

What stood out to me was the quality of both the content and the facilitators. The instructors clearly combine strong academic expertise with real industry experience, making complex investment and asset management concepts easy to understand and directly applicable. Their ability to explain not only the how, but also the why behind key decisions added real value throughout the program.

The course takes a practical approach, covering topics such as hotel valuation, financing, management agreements, investment analysis, and asset management through realistic case studies and financial exercises. Rather than being purely theoretical, it equips you with tools and frameworks that can be applied immediately in a professional environment.

As someone working in hospitality asset management, I found many of the lessons directly relevant to my day-to-day responsibilities and appreciated the strong focus on the owner’s perspective and long-term value creation.

The program is well structured, engaging, and flexible enough to fit around a demanding professional schedule. I would highly recommend it to hospitality professionals, investors, developers, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of hotel real estate and asset management.

Thank you to the eCornell team and the facilitators for delivering such a high-quality learning experience.

The instructors made the experience great. The materials presented made the experience great. The emphasis was on the craft of storytelling and not finding something to write about. Although it was online, I appreciate the facilitator feedback, and sometimes it was received by video. I learned how to give feedback when doing revisions.

It was an amazing experience! I love the course !

I recently completed the "Hands-On AI Agents: Vibe-Code AI Workflows and Agent Skills for Personal Productivity" workshop through eCornell with Lutz Finger.

The workshop was a practical and highly useful experience. Rather than relying on traditional lectures and slides, the course utilized a "vibe coding" style. This interactive, iterative approach allowed abstract agent concepts to click much faster than reading about them would have. Professor Finger was clearly knowledgeable and made the material approachable, even for those without extensive experience working with AI agents.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to move from simply reading about AI agents to actually building them.

Another great course. I like the additional details on AI foundations but I think we needed a bit more time to get through the dynamic capstone chosen by the team. Great work as always in being flexible and not afraid to approach a new topic.

What made my experience particularly great was the ability to learn at my own pace, apply knowledge in practice, and observe how different people approach and handle real-life situations. feedback provided was also great!

This program challenged me to move beyond conventional narratives of democracy and explore it as what it truly is, a dynamic, contested, and ever-evolving process driven not just by institutions, but by the active participation of an engaged citizenry.

Over six months, I dove deep into:
🏛️ Complex government structures & public deliberation
⚠️ Democratic backsliding & institutional capture
⚖️ Political equality as the foundation of lasting democracy

I am deeply grateful to my facilitator Susan Alevas, Esq. (She/Her) for your constant lessons and support through out the journey and to the distinguished faculty, Professor Paul Friesen , Dr. Rachel Beatty Riedl , and Dr. Kenneth Roberts , whose global perspectives fundamentally reshaped how I see my role as a youth whose work sits at the intersections of law, Communication strategies, youth engagement and democratic governance.

The most enduring lesson? Democracy is not a destination. It is a mechanism for managing conflict that demands constant commitment and collective action from young leaders like us.

I leave this program energized and ready to weave deliberative democracy principles into my work locally and globally.

I had a great experience learning Python Programming and Python for Data Science. I was able to apply the knowledge directly to my day-to-day work. The course significantly enhanced my data processing skills and helped me improve the way I analyze and prepare data for use in my field. The practical concepts and hands-on learning have made me more efficient and effective in handling data-driven tasks.

Extremely flexible program, wonderful real-world usable content and easy web platform!

I recently attended an eCornell workshop and it exceeded my expectations. The content was well-structured, engaging, and immediately applicable. The instructors clearly knew their subject matter and made complex topics easy to grasp. Highly recommend to anyone looking to sharpen their skills through a top-tier online program.

I recently completed eCornell's Financial Success for Nonprofits certificate program and am grateful for the experience. As someone who has spent much of my career leading programs, building partnerships, and supporting mission-driven organizations, I found the course both affirming and challenging.
What I appreciated most was the practical nature of the program. The lessons moved beyond theory and invited me to think critically about sustainability, revenue diversification, fundraising strategy, and financial stewardship. Each assignment provided an opportunity to apply concepts to real-world nonprofit situations, making the learning immediately relevant and useful.
The course strengthened my understanding of the financial side of nonprofit leadership while reminding me that strong finances are ultimately in service of mission, impact, and community. I would recommend this program to nonprofit professionals at any stage of their careers who want to deepen their knowledge and lead their organizations with greater confidence and clarity.

The overall context and framework of the courses. Not so much related to the student access and ability to complete assignments in a timely manner as others may think. I felt the company did a great job of challenging the students to really develop a strategy when managing labor. I also am very grateful that the courses were designed in a manner that would support both sides of the employer/union relationship. So many others tend to be slanted to on or the other.

My experience at eCornell was incredibly valuable because it gave me practical knowledge and fresh perspectives that I use every day in my current role.
The academic programs challenged me to think more strategically, strengthen my problem-solving skills, and approach complex situations with greater confidence and insight.

I recently completed the Business Management Essentials certificate through eCornell, and it exceeded my expectations.

As a Pharmacy Technician in healthcare operations and someone involved in managing a small service business, I found the program highly practical and immediately applicable to my daily work. The courses covered leadership, communication, organizational culture, strategy, innovation, and business decision-making in a way that connected theory with real-world situations.

What I appreciated most was the project-based learning format. Rather than simply reading about concepts, I was challenged to analyze my own work environments, identify opportunities for improvement, and apply what I learned directly to professional situations.

The instructors provided thoughtful feedback, and the content was well organized, engaging, and relevant across industries. The program helped me strengthen my business knowledge, improve my strategic thinking, and gain confidence in pursuing future leadership and operations-focused opportunities.

I would highly recommend eCornell to working professionals looking to expand their business skills while balancing a full-time career.

I thought the experience was great all the way around. I received above and beyond when I came to educational content. Not just the course material but the access to Workshops and Keynotes that I took advantage of. Additionally I found the engagement with my facilitators and cohort extremely valuable. The content was easily found and navigated. The communication and notifications were extremely helpful.
The downloadable frameworks and course transcripts were of tremendous help and value.
Excellent experience overall that I would recommend to anyone.

They never gave proper guidance and dont provide us enough time .Bad in training

I thoroughly enjoyed this certificate course. The curriculum was delivered at an excellent pace, offering clear instruction while remaining challenging enough to stay engaging. Through this program, I was able to learn new concepts and formalize current professional practices that I previously lacked the formal terminology for. This course has significantly helped me refine my leadership skills, and I would highly recommend it

I needed to learn more about investing our retirement accounts so I was very glad to find this course online.

2 of the courses were particularly helpful for me, Portfolio Management Essentials and Evaluating Stocks. The course facilitators responded to my questions and I learned a lot from the recorded lectures and projects.

Each of the 4 courses that were bundled together for a certificate lasted 2 weeks. I thought that it was a little challenging to complete the assignments at a time when I was very busy at work. However, you are given 2 years to complete them and scheduling was pretty easy.

My experience was very positive and I gained some valuable knowledge.

I'm glad I took this course.
