The Open Publishing Projects Certificate, formerly the Textbooks Success Program, guides educators through a year-long, three-phase program that blends expert facilitation, hands-on project work, and sustained community support. Together, we’ve marked six years of growth, graduated 25 cohorts, published over 95 open titles, and connected hundreds of participants from around the world alongside 15 dedicated facilitators. All participants completing the program receive a micro-credential and certificate acknowledging their work.
