How are Micro-Credentials different?
Think of a Micro-Credential like something in the middle of a course and a certificate. A course is where you learn things from a book or a teacher. Certificates are for learning and then showing what you know. Micro-Credentials are in-between: they help you get better at certain skills by trying them out in your class with your students. You can also stack Micro-Credentials over time to become an expert in that series.
How do I pay?
The introductory pricing for each Micro-Credential is $49 and is all-inclusive. We accept credit cards and PayPal.
Can my school use a purchase order?
School purchase orders are available for groups of 10 or more, and you’ll need to supply the purchase order number to complete enrollment. Once payment is received, you’ll be granted access to the program. Request a group quote.
When can I start?
You can enroll in any Micro-Credential and start at any time. Everything is online and asynchronous, so you have total control and flexibility in your learning.
