Fast and flexible upskilling
Like a mini university course, a microcredential focuses on a specific area of study. You can gain an industry-relevant skill within a matter of days or weeks and receive certification that verifies your new proficiency for current or future employers.
Designed with career progression at the core, microcredentials are a great way to progress in your industry, broaden and personalise your CV, explore an entirely new career, or even just follow an interest without committing to a degree. The shorter time frame required to complete a microcredential means you can easily fit your learning around your lifestyle.
