A practical credential in designing online learning that works at low bandwidth and across cultures — activity design, assessment and accessibility. GlobalMind University delivers this award fully online across six world regions. There is no campus gate. Assessment is identity-checked and one academic standard applies to every student, in every time zone. This is an academic graduate certificate award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. PGCert Learning Experience Design is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 9 months, and the credit total is 15. Students move from Education Governance & Policy Literacy through Education Governance & Policy Literacy; Comparative & International Education; Curriculum, Assessment & Equity; Organisational Change in Education Settings; Research Methods for In-Post Study, and finish on Research Methods for In-Post Study. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Inquire into curriculum, assessment and inclusion as a practitioner-researcher Read education policy and inspection data without worshipping the dashboard Design and evaluate an improvement in a real setting Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The programme carries 15 credits across a single stackable block. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with GlobalMind University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

| GX71201 | Education Governance & Policy Literacy Education Governance & Policy Literacy (GX71201) is a 3-credit course on PGCert Learning Experience Design, with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read, using Education Governance & Policy Literacy as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree.

| GX71202 | Comparative & International Education Comparative & International Education (GX71202) is a 3-credit course on PGCert Learning Experience Design, with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can design a short sequence for a named group of learners and the criteria that would mark it fairly, using Comparative & International Education as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a curriculum extract, an assessment specification, and an evaluation summary. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a plan with outcomes, a task, criteria, and a note on bias. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or equivalent registration.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 9 months. Teaching language: English (ES/PT/HI support hubs do not change the language of assessment unless a bilingual pathway is stated). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. GlobalMind University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
