Microcredentials are short, focused qualifications that give you specific skills and knowledge in a particular area.

They’re like a badge of honor that shows you’ve mastered a particular skill or topic, without committing to a full degree program. And you’ll even earn an actual badge for your completion of a microcredential at ESF (more on that below)!

 

 

 

Our Courses are:

High Quality.
You’ll be taught by SUNY ESF faculty 
and industry-leading experts.

In Demand.
Gain expertise in current and emerging market demands and relevant industry standards.

Convenient.
Learn skills in months, not years.

Stackable.
Stack your credits toward a certificate, degree, or advanced degree. 

Portable.
Take the skills you learned with you, wherever you go. 


Earn a Digital Badge

For every microcredential you complete, you’ll earn a digital badge to validate your skills and achievement. Share your badge on your resume, social media profiles, or email signature — anywhere you want to highlight your expertise in a specific area.

A digital badge represents your ongoing learning and expertise — proudly display it to apply it toward professional advancement.  

Sample digital badge for Sustainable Design certified.
