Authentic assessments
prove your knowledge
To earn a credential, you will demonstrate your knowledge by passing assessments. Many of these will be hands-on, skills-based projects that resemble real-world business scenarios. All credentials have been verified by employers to ensure they are representative of the competencies (skills and knowledge) required in today’s workplaces.
Pass a badge assessment to earn a micro-credential. When you pass all of the learning apps and badge assessments in a skills track, you earn a certification that carries the name of the issuing institution.
