What are microcredentials
Microcredentials are short, focused courses that quickly equip you with up-to-date skills to meet the demands of today’s rapidly changing workforce. They certify your competence in a specific skill, making them a great option if you're looking to advance in your current career or start a new one.
Microcredentials can be taken as individual courses, or in some cases, you can complete a series of courses to earn a microcredential program certificate.
