Programs are subject to these Terms of Use, including the Warranty Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability sections below.
NIATM may offer a certificate, credential, acknowledgment, completion status, or other academic recognition for participants who have satisfactorily demonstrated mastery of Program material. The decision to award any such certificate, credential, acknowledgment, or record of performance shall remain solely within the discretion of NIATM.
NIATM may choose not to offer any certificate, credential, or acknowledgment for certain Programs. In addition, NIATM may decide in its sole discretion whether to provide a record concerning a participant’s performance in any Program. The format, nature, and content of any credential, certificate, acknowledgment, transcript, or performance record may vary from Program to Program and shall be determined solely by NIATM.
If you are enrolled in a Program through another institution, employer, academic partner, or training provider, NIATM may share your record or performance details with such institution or body in accordance with the applicable privacy and data protection provisions. However, the decision whether any third party awards any credit, benefit, transfer, equivalency, or recognition based on a Program will remain solely with that third party.
