About this certification

Every office has one. A phone that chirps every four minutes. A laptop that plays a cheerful bloop each time someone reacts to a message. It always happens at the quiet part of the meeting. The owner rarely notices. Everyone else notices every time.

This program sets out the professional standards of notification silence. You'll learn the difference between silent, vibrate, and Do Not Disturb, where the sound settings live on phones and computers, and how to stay quiet in meetings without missing the call that actually matters. Graduates will be able to silence a device in under five seconds and share their screen without broadcasting their group chat.
