FAQ

Microcredentials are short-form courses that equip learners with in-demand skills to fill critical workforce gaps.

They’re ideal for working professionals, career changers, students, or anyone looking to quickly upskill without committing to a full degree program.

Microcredential courses vary in length. Some are short and can be completed in a week, while others take 6 weeks to finish. Most require 3–5 hours of work per week and can be completed at your own pace.

UNO microcredentials are non-credit courses, but they offer valuable skill-building and a digital badge to show what you’ve learned. Some may align with future learning pathways.

You can browse and register directly from the UNO Microcredentials website. New courses are added regularly
