<H2>Learn design thinking through LUMA’s certification program</H2>
Organizations of all types are facing bigger, more complex challenges and disruptions. To adapt and innovate, it’s essential to design responses that solve the right problems and provide solutions that our clients, colleagues and partners want and need.
LUMA Institute teaches a unique system of human-centered design that equips individuals, teams and organizations to tackle challenges and reach solutions faster, with better results.
Starting in 2019 LUMA is offering our Practitioner Certification Program — previously available only in enterprise settings — to the public. The program combines expert instruction, hands-on training, peer-to-peer learning and on-demand resources to help you develop skills applying human-centered design.
You’ll learn to think and work like a designer and be equipped to apply design thinking to your challenges with confidence.

Participants who successfully complete program requirements will earn LUMA Practitioner Certification in recognition of your new design skills and accomplishments. You’ll receive a customized, downloadable certification document as well as a digital badge to share on social media and in your email signature.
