Adult-Microcredentials

Why should you consider taking a microcredential class with Eden Prairie Community Education in partnership with UGotClass (LERN Courses) to earn a digital badge?

What is microcredentialling?
-Microcredentials are short, flexible, asynchronous learning opportunities that allow you to learn at your own pace, on your own schedule. Each course focuses on a specific skill or topic, and upon successful completion, you receive a recognized badge that validates your learning and can be included on your résumé, LinkedIn profile, or professional portfolio.

What are badges?
-Upon successful completion, learners earn a digital badge, a verified online credential that demonstrates their newly acquired skills. These badges can be shared with employers or added to a résumé or LinkedIn profile and are securely stored through a platform called Credly.

What is the benefit of upskilling or mastering content with taking micro-credential classes?
-Whether you're looking to upskill, pivot to a new career, deepen your knowledge, or simply challenge yourself with something new, our microcredential courses offer flexible, asynchronous learning in topics ranging from AI and bookkeeping to social media marketing, coding, business, communication, and wellness. Learners can explore individual topics or complete a series of related courses to earn a professional certificate in a specialized area.
