Washington State University (USA) offers the Volunteer Management Certificate Program (VMCP), a four-course online syllabus that focuses on practical real-life learning exercise and provides "basic training" for managers of volunteers in the following key areas:

    * Recruiting
    * Training
    * Supervision
    * Evaluation and recognition

The courses are designed and taught by respected leaders in the field of volunteer management. Students receive personalized feedback from instructors who have years of real-world experience. Students can access courses when it's most convenient for them, 24/7, begin courses at any time (the courses are not quarter or semester-based), and interact with fellow students and faculty online.
