All about Micro-Credentials
What is a micro-credential?
Micro-credentials are compact, focused courses that offer affordable and flexible options for learning and professional development. Each micro-credential is independent, and may be completed in any order as learners pursue personal goals or career growth.
Choose what to learn and when. Micro-credentials allow learners to fit education into busy schedules and other obligations. There are no course schedules or classes to attend; log in and learn at your own pace and on your own time.
PDHs, Certificates and Badges
Completing a micro-credential course awards a certificate of completion and professional development hours (PDHs), which can be used to re-certify or satisfy other professional requirements. Share your achievements on social and professional networks with unique online badges that validate your personal knowledge and skill sets.
