What is a Micro-Credential? 

A micro-credential is a certification that recognizes your competency in a specific skill or knowledge area. Unlike full degree programs, micro-credentials are: 

  • Short-term – They typically take weeks, not years, to complete. 

  • Flexible – Many are offered online and designed to fit around your schedule. 

  • Focused – They address specific, real-world skills that are directly applicable in the workplace. 

  • Stackable – They can often be combined with other micro-credentials to build toward larger qualifications. 

Micro-credentials are especially valuable in industries where up-to-date knowledge and agile skillsets are essential. They empower professionals to stay relevant and competitive in their fields—whether they’re looking to level up or pivot their careers entirely. 

⭐️ We’re excited to announce the launch of a new micro-credential course by Train Alberta:
Trauma-Informed Practice: Creating Safe and Supportive Environments.
