Microcredentials are evidence of a skill or competency that has been demonstrated by the student. They are represented by a digital badge that can be added to your social media sites, such as LinkedIn, the footer of your emails, or your digital resume. Potential employers can click on those digital badges and see a record of what you had to do to earn that microcredential.

A digital badge is the image and the metadata embedded in that image that represents an earned microcredential. Essentially, it is the digital equivalent of a certificate and it shows that the earner has successfully demonstrated the skills and competencies to have earned the microcredential. 

Many microcredentials are created in collaboration with related industries or employers. As such, they represent skills that those potential employers are looking for and they are earned through evidence that the employers accept as valid and reliable. This means that microcredentials can be a powerful tool to help you get noticed and land that job in your desired field. 

Microcredentials are offered within select courses. Some microcredentials can be earned by successful completion of a course, others can be earned by successful completion of a specific unit including a competency-based assessment. Once you are enrolled in a course that contains a microcredential, your instructor will give you the details on what you will need to do to earn the associated microcredential. For a list of courses that contain a microcredential component, you can go . 

Microcredentials are offered at no additional cost. They are extra value added onto the course you are already taking.

No. Microcredentials are an additional (and more specific) evidence of a skill or competency. They do not replace the degree or certificate you will earn by completing a certificate or degree program. 

For a list of courses that contain a microcredential component, you can go here. Microcredentials are continuously being added to courses throughout H漫画 so check back occasionally to see if microcredentials have been added to any courses you may be interested in. 

Benefits of collaborating with H漫画 to develop new microcredentials:

• Ensure that students graduating from H漫画 have the specific skills you want.
• Know that a microcredential represents exactly what you want it to represent.
• Increase the size of the hiring pool of high-quality candidates.
• Create a connection between your company and potential employees. 
• Create evidence of entry-level skills that can allow potential employees to enter your company while still progressing through a degree program. 

Microcredentials are a way to recognize skills, knowledge, or experiences that your learners have gained through your educational experiences. Microcredentials reward the earner by providing them with evidence of their knowledge or ability that can be leveraged for advances in career or employment opportunities. If the earner feels that the microcredential is worthy of display, then your logo, brand, and educational opportunity will be shared on their social networks, emails, and digital resumes for others to see.

A co-branded microcredential is a microcredential that was developed in collaboration with an organization external to H漫画. Like other microcredentials, they represent a skill or competency that has been demonstrated through a competency-based assessment. Unlike other H漫画 microcredentials, the courses and the assessments are administered by the partner organization.  For co-branded microcredentials, the microcredential content and assessment must be approved by H漫画鈥檚 microcredential team and cannot be changed without agreement from H漫画. This ensures that any microcredential containing the H漫画 logo and branding meets the high standards of H漫画 University. 

If your institution or company offers trainings, courses, or other learning experiences, you may want to consider creating a co-branded microcredential with H漫画. Co-branded microcredentials give your learners evidence of the skills they received from your courses or trainings as well as the knowledge that the skills and assessment has been vetted and approved by H漫画. The digital badge image contains the H漫画 logo and branding and may be seen to carry more authority or validity than the individual microcredential. 

Co-branded microcredentials require an agreement between H漫画 and the partner institution that requires approval of the microcredential focus and its competency-based assessment. Once approved, the assessment may not be altered without collaboration and approval from H漫画. H漫画鈥檚 microcredential team will assist with the development, organization, management, and distribution your microcredentials.

Learners should take this timeline into consideration when planning course registration. If the course for which a learner is seeking equivalency is a prerequisite course, they may register for subsequent courses immediately upon notification of their RPL approval.  If the course for which a learner is seeking equivalency is not a prerequisite course they may register for other courses in the certificate while awaiting their RPL approval.
