Professional Microcredentials

What are Microcredentials?

Professional Development Microcredentials include Certificates, Microcertificates and Collaborative Certifications. A professional microcredential is a short, targeted certification that verifies a learner’s mastery of a specific skill or competency. 

Professional Certificates involve comprehensive learning of a knowlege area, whereas Microcertificates focus on targeted real-world professional skills. 

Unlike traditional degrees, microcredentials are:

  • Flexible: Courses are offered remotely and in-person
  • Fast: Can be completed in as little as four months and most courses are 14 hours over two or three days
  • Focused: Content targets knowledge and skills for the workplace

Collaborative Certifications are microcredentials offered by other institutions with which we have partnered.
