DID YOU KNOW? A microcredential validates a specific, narrowly defined skill or competency. It is typically delivered as a short program and issued as a digital, verifiable artifact. A traditional certificate is broader and longer, often spanning several courses within a topic area, and has historically been delivered as a paper certificate or a PDF. Microcredentials are the smallest unit of meaningful learning your institution can certify, while certificates are bundles of related learning that go deeper into a domain. The lines blur because certificates can include microcredentials, and microcredentials can stack into certificates.
