Learn-and-Earn Microcredentials

Learn-and-earn microcredentials require completing a structured learning experience, such as a course, workshop, or learning path. Afterward, you must demonstrate mastery of the acquired skills through assessments or evaluations. This type ensures your knowledge is both acquired and validated, making it ideal for those seeking to enhance their expertise while earning a recognized credential. It combines education and skill validation, offering a clear pathway to professional growth.

Non-Formal Learning

This microcredential supports non-formal learning experiences. It recognizes skills gained through workshops, online courses, or workplace training, offering a flexible way to validate targeted learning outcomes. It's perfect for those seeking recognition for practical, hands-on learning outside traditional institutions.
