Certificate in Andragogy (Adult Education)

The Certificate in Andragogy (Adult Education) is a 24-credit, part-time program offered through Universite de Moncton's Continuing Education division across its three campuses. All 24 credits are mandatory, giving students foundational training in andragogy, the study and practice of adult education and adult learning theory. The program develops the basic competencies and attitudes needed to work effectively with adult learners, using a mix of teaching approaches suited to each course's content and learning goals. It targets people already working with adults in education, training, or related roles, as well as those seeking to enter the field. Admission requires a secondary school diploma or an equivalent qualification, together with either professional certification or relevant work experience in the field of expertise combined with supplementary training, or current employment in adult education. The certificate stands alone as a credential in adult-education practice and can also support professional development for instructors, trainers, and coordinators working with adult learners in community, workplace, or institutional settings.
