At WOTC University, we offer two learning tracks—designed to meet you where you are in your WOTC journey:
Track 1: Certified WOTC Optimization Professional (C-WOP)
The C-WOP track is our flagship certification program for individuals looking to become true WOTC experts. Whether you manage WOTC in-house, advise clients, or work in compliance, this path offers a complete education in WOTC optimization best practices.
To earn your certification, you must:
- Watch each training video
- Pass all quizzes
- Pass one final exam
The Certified WOTC Optimization Professional course is the flagship certification program within WOTC University. Designed for professionals who want to master the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program, this course covers everything from eligibility and compliance to screening best practices and payroll integration.
This certification demonstrates your expertise in optimizing WOTC performance for employers—and sets you apart as a trusted WOTC leader in your organization.
Track 2: Individual WOTC Optimization Courses
Not ready to pursue full certification? No problem.
This track is designed for learners who want to explore individual WOTC topics at their own pace—no final exam, no certificate required. Each video dives into a specific WOTC concept, providing insights and best practices that can improve your current program or help you better understand the credit’s value.
Perfect for:
✔️ Busy executives
✔️ HR or payroll team members
✔️ Legislators and policy professionals
✔️ Anyone looking to gain insight without committing to the full C-WOP program
The WOTC program represents billions in potential federal tax savings each year—but most employers leave money on the table. WOTC University helps you change that. Whether you choose to get certified or simply sharpen your understanding, you’re joining a growing network of professionals committed to turning tax credits into strategic cash flow.
