About course certificates
PIL201 is a certification course. All course meetings and assignments are mandatory and require attendance. In some cases, it will be possible to submit a supplementary assignment that corresponds to the meeting or assignment missed. To be approved for a certificate, you must also achieve the learning objectives in the course syllabus.
PIL201 was introduced on January 1, 2021 as a replacement for the credit course HPE201, which was then phased out. The content and basic structure of PIL201 are the same as for HPE201, and the course gives the same eligibility.
