What is a micro-credential?
Non-credit micro-credentials showcase a student’s learning, skills and achievements and validate knowledge through assessment to make participants more marketable to employers.

Upon completion of a micro-credential, participants receive a digital badge - a web-based image that provides verification of completion. Students can share these badges online, add them to a digital portfolio or LinkedIn and link them in a resume. Participants will be emailed access to their digital badge upon course completion.
