Microcredentials are short courses or masterclasses that aim to give learners dynamic, compelling learning experiences shorter than traditional postgraduate learning. With courses offered in online, face-to-face, or blended formats, Microcredentials allow learners to select courses that fit flexibly into various lifestyles.

Our credentials are designed to deliver shorter-form assessed learning as an alternative to, in addition to, or as a stepping-stone to formal postgraduate study.

Leave them as standalone certifications or stack them - it's completely up to the learner.

With Curtin Credentials a learner can upskill, cross-skill, and reskill in small, bite-sized chunks by selecting courses in topics and learning modes that suit their lifestyle. Whether they want to learn new skills, complement existing ones, or discover something completely new - it's up to them. Plus, Microcredentials are certified, transferrable, and stackable, meaning they can be left as standalone achievements, or grouped towards a graduate certificate.

Microcredentials:

• give formal recognition for learning
• offer compelling, dynamic, contemporary learning experiences, influenced by market desirability and driven by industry demand
• provide evidence to employers that the learner is skilled in areas they may not have a full degree in
• show that learning is taken seriously and the learner is dedicated to furthering their professional development

Curtin Credentials have been created to offer dynamic, engaging, and flexible learning experiences to today's professionals. We have designed a range of Microcredentials to deepen and broaden relevant experience and further develop skills. The nature of work is constantly changing, and we're here to empower learners in achieving their goals, no matter what life stage they are in.

Our range of Microcredentials fit under five themes that speak to what is industry-relevant:

	Digital Mindset Embrace advances in digital technology, explore how it impacts our lives, and develop digital skills to equip the learner for the future of work.
	Future of Work Thrive and adapt in the changing world of work by developing and broadening a skillset in a range of areas.
	Influence & Persuasion Equip the learner with skills and strategies to make effective change and become a persuasive thought leader in their career.
	Innovation Unleash an inner entrepreneur and blend creativity and problem solving skills to create valuable new products and services.
	Leadership Develop positive, sustainable, resilient and inclusive traits to guide life, career, and organisational directions. Learn what it takes to motivate and inspire in a contemporary business setting.

Our courses are delivered in a range of online, face-to-face, and blended formats, which gives the flexibility to pick courses that will fit into the learner's lifestyle. Pick and mix Microcredentials or stack them into a formal postgraduate offering.
