At AOLCC, we’ve helped thousands of students gain the knowledge and experience they need to make positive changes in their working lives through micro-credentials. All courses are self-directed and supported by qualified learning coaches. As Canada’s largest career college network, our micro-credentials are widely recognized as a signal of quality training by employers. If you’re looking to start the next chapter in your career, these short, yet thorough courses ensure you have the industry skills, knowledge, and tools to succeed.
What is a micro-credential?
Micro-credentials are short courses which can lead to skills and certification in a multitude of industries. A powerful learning route, a micro-credential can be taken as a one-off course for onboarding a specific skill or process, or it can be stacked with other micro-credentials in the same field to complete a full-length vocational certificate or diploma program. Whether you’re looking to learn a few specific skills or to retrain in a whole new career, micro-credentials offer a flexible, yet highly impactful study experience for every kind of learner.
What are the benefits of micro-credentials?
- Learn skills for promotion. For upskillers, a micro-credential doesn’t just freshen up your knowledge and skill set, it demonstrates your commitment to your field and your passion for staying ahead of changes in the industry. Rather than hiring someone new for that more senior position, your employer will know you’ve got the right skills to excel in the role.
- Stand out from the crowd. For job seekers or career changers, a micro-credential is a sure-fire way to get noticed. Course certifications look impressive on a resume, and you can demonstrate portfolio projects in application letters and interviews. Thanks to a combination of practical experience and theory, a micro-credential from AOLCC gives you the full package every recruiter is looking for.
- Fit study around your life. Unlike a degree or other longer term modes of study, a micro-credential is compact and flexible. Many courses can be completed over a few days or a weekend, and thanks to their stackable nature, you can keep building on your progress. For those with work, family, or other responsibilities, a micro-credential is the perfect way to learn new skills without the need to commit to a longer or more full-time program.
