Market leader in online career certification training and
innovative career pathways aims to continue growth in healthcare
and IT
MedCerts, a leader in online healthcare and IT certification
training, has announced the appointment of Craig Sprinkle as Chief
Executive Officer.
Mr. Sprinkle assumed the role from former CEO Jason Aubrey on
November 7, 2022, in a planned transition. Mr. Sprinkle joined
MedCerts in 2018 in a combined role of Chief Financial Officer and
Chief Operating Officer and has served as Chief Financial Officer
since 2020.
Mr. Aubrey and Mr. Sprinkle both joined MedCerts in 2018 to lead
an increased focus on growing the company’s catalogue of training
programs to be more accessible to a broader, more diverse student
population, while also providing students more employment options
and the opportunity to stack certifications or pursue degrees
through transferable college credits.
“I am honored to continue the important work we’re doing at
MedCerts, as we have a tremendous opportunity to build on the
outstanding work Jason did to keep employers and job skills at the
center of everything we do,” said Mr. Sprinkle. “The urgency around
upskilling talent and recruiting and retaining skilled teams,
especially in medical and health fields, is ever-present for us and
I look forward to continuing to serve as a reliable partner for
job-seekers, trainees, and employer partners.”
In his time as CFO at MedCerts, Mr. Sprinkle oversaw more than a
4x increase in enrollments and revenue while also expanding margins
and overall profitability, expansion of the training catalog to
include over 50 programs, and heightened focus on critical student
outcomes. He also guided MedCerts to consistent placement on the
Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies prior to its
acquisition by Stride.
Prior to joining MedCerts, Mr. Sprinkle served several
successful ventures as CFO and has over 20 years of business
experience. In 2012, he was named “CFO of the Year” by Crain’s
Detroit Business.
“Our future is very bright, and I'm excited to continue leading
the terrific and talented team we have at MedCerts. It is an honor
to be at the helm,” said Mr. Sprinkle. “In addition to our strong
student and employer growth, we’re bringing on new programs,
rolling out technology solutions that are powerful and unique in
the market, and aggressively building out our academic partnership
model with colleges and universities.”
