Choose the credential that fits your goals

Short-term learning, exploring a topic, or professional development

A Certificate of Completion recognizes completed learning in a particular subject area and is ideal if you’re looking to upskill quickly or explore a new interest without a long-term commitment.

Career advancement or building expertise in a specific field

An Extension Certificate is a university-recognized credential designed to help you develop specialized, job-relevant skills. These programs typically consist of multiple courses and are ideal if you’re looking to deepen your expertise, strengthen your professional qualifications, or move forward in your career.

Targeted, job-ready skills aligned with industry needs

Micro-credentials focus on specific competencies tied to real-world job roles and workplace needs. These short, focused learning experiences are designed to help you quickly gain skills that employers value — making them a great option if you’re looking to pivot careers, specialize in a particular area, or stay competitive in your field.

What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is a visual, shareable representation of your achievement. When you complete certain courses or micro-credentials, you may earn a digital badge that highlights the skills and competencies you’ve developed.

Digital badges allow you to:

  • Showcase your skills on platforms like LinkedIn
  • Share verified accomplishments with employers and your professional network
  • Build a professional portfolio of your capabilities
  • Provide a clear, verifiable evidence of specific competencies

Each badge represents demonstrated skills that have stand-alone value in the workplace.
