MICRO-CREDENTIALS
ONLINE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
What is a Micro-credential?
- A Micro-credential is not a course. It is an online, on-demand way to earn a badge that demonstrates your competency. The process includes submitting artifacts to be evaluated by an assessor in order to earn a sharable badge that you can use in your resumé, email signature as well as social networks.
- A Micro-credential is a career-building opportunity. Micro-credentials evidence your career skills and growth in a tangible, highly-visible way. Completing a micro-credential could potentially lead to salary advancement or help you stand out in a pool of job candidates. You can also earn professional development credit toward your licensure requirements.
- Micro-credentials are scalable learning opportunities. You can continue to add more credentials to your resume over time to demonstrate new skills and increase your marketability!
What Makes Micro-credentials Unique?
- On-Demand – Micro-credentials do not require attendance at an in-person or online seminar on any specific date. You can complete them on your schedule and still earn professional development clock hours.
- Skill-Based – Micro-credentials require you to evidence your mastery of a specific skill, such as the tax levy. An assessor will evaluate your competency in order for you to earn the credential.
- Shareable – The digital badge you receive upon completion can be added to your paper resume or online profiles and link to a page that describes what that micro-credential entails.
How the Micro-credential Process Works
- Select a Micro-credential – Earn a micro-credential for something you already know, or use the credential process as a chance to grow your skillset.
- Demonstrate Your Competency – Review the micro-credential document to find the learning outcomes and what evidences you will need to submit. When you are ready, submit your required artifacts for assessment.
- Share Your Skill – Upon successful completion and evaluation by an assessor, earn a digital badge that you can add to your physical portfolio, email signature or social networks.
