Introducing Nova:
Chief of Staff Certification
Gain the competence and confidence to stand out, no matter your industry.
Distinct from other positions in executive business circles, a Chief of Staff (CoS) is an exciting and lucrative position that can help leaders in all industries to maximize impact. It’s also a rewarding career path for people who enjoy problem-solving, strategizing, and working with leadership. But most people don’t learn about the role in their organization or business school, let alone train for its many varied responsibilities.
Nova Chief of Staff certifies students through a self-paced online course, hosted by an accredited university, with coursework based on actual CoS duties and endorsed by a list of industry experts.
