Micro-Credentials
PROGRAMS
Micro-credentials are stand-alone, short-duration learning experiences that are competency-based and align with industry, employer and community needs. Micro-credentials can be assessed and recognized for employment or learning purposes and are funded in part by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training. We will continue to add exciting new programs to help our learners advance their skills to meet current and future needs in high-demand industries and sectors.
