We recommend downloading the LMDC Tracking Log to help guide your course choices and track your completion of certificate requirements.

When you have completed all requirements, use this form to contact the HR Training & Organization Development Team to request your certificate!

It depends. You must register to participate in the Develop Your Dominion synchronous facilitator-led online courses. However, for your electives there are asynchronous course options on COVLC that are self-paced and do not require registration.

Yes, but only for asynchronous electives. In synchronous facilitator-led courses, your attendance is already recorded. If you didn't take any asynchronous elective courses on COVLC or LinkedIn Learning, then you don't have to provide any certificates.

You can request your LMDC certificate here, and upload your accompanying certificates as needed.
