Micro-credential — one skill, a few hours
One module, one skill, one assessment. This is the format that answers a need arising within the week, and the least costly way to confirm that a field suits you.
What a micro-credential validates
One precise professional act, described by what you will be able to carry out: building a pivot table, drafting a work permit, framing a recruitment interview. The assessment bears on that act, and on it alone.
- One objective stated in a single sentence, before you start
- A marked exercise with named feedback on what worked
- A short final assessment, at a threshold stated in advance
- Proof verifiable online as soon as it is validated
The base that feeds it
Every micro-credential is cut from the content base recorded in the accreditation file. The count is published as it stands, field by field, so you know in advance what depth awaits beyond the first module.
- modules recorded
- 444
- fields covered
- 13
- already assigned to a field
- 434
The remainder is counted in the published total.
The run-through, end to end
- 01
You choose the module
The objective and prerequisite fit on the course page. Two minutes of reading are enough to know it is the right one.
- 02
You work through the content
Content downloads and runs offline; your answers are sent when the signal returns.
- 03
You submit the exercise
Marking is named and tells you what worked, before the final assessment.
- 04
You receive the proof
The verification link is live from validation, and stays open to whoever you send it to.
Questions about this format
Does a micro-credential count on a CV?
It proves one precise act, and proves it for good: the verification link is public. Its strength comes from accumulation — several micro-credentials in the same field tell a progression a recruiter reads at a glance.
How much time should I set aside?
A few hours, booked in one or two sittings. The stated duration is actual work: it fits an evening or a morning, and finishes in one run.
Can I chain several modules?
Yes, and the field page publishes the recommended order. Following it saves time: each module arrives at the moment the previous one made it useful.
