Microcredentials are shorter, focused programs that help learners build knowledge and skills in specific areas. Whether you are looking to grow professionally, explore a new area, or add a verified credential to your experience, microcredentials offer a flexible way to keep learning.
Credit-bearing programs that provide focused study and may support broader academic goals.
Programs that help learners strengthen professional and workplace-relevant capabilities.
Applied learning experiences designed to build specific, in-demand skills.
A digital badge is a verified online credential that represents the knowledge and skills gained through a microcredential. It is one-click verifiable, so employers can quickly confirm your achievement. Each badge also includes details about the specific skills you developed and may highlight the projects, coursework, or assessments completed along the way. You can share it on LinkedIn, your résumé, email signature, and other professional platforms.
Explore available programs and select the one that fits your goals. Each program page includes information to help you get started.
Each microcredential is different. Requirements may include coursework, non-credit training, or project-based work. Check your program page for details.
When eligible learners complete a microcredential, they receive an email from Credly with instructions to accept and activate their digital badge.
Add your badge to LinkedIn, your résumé, or your email signature to showcase what you have learned.
