What are Micro-Credentials?

A micro-credential is a professional learning pathway where students gain skill sets in a specific technical area and receive a credential within a matter of weeks. Micro-credentials are affordable, flexible, and industry based which allows a student to complete a course at their own pace while assuring they are gaining industry knowledge and skills.

Each credential is designed by subject matter experts who have extensive experience in that industry. These courses include online simulations, case studies, various technologies, and a variety of assessment methods to ensure skills acquisition. Micro-credentials demonstrate to employers the understanding of in-demand skills and industry awareness.

Overall, the design and appearance of the course material was well-done. And having the opportunity to run through the program at your own pace was a great advantage. I had the opportunity to sign up for this program more out of curiosity and most of the material was already known to me but I still enjoyed the smooth flow of the progress through the modules.
