Micro-credentials are short, concentrated groups of courses that are really flexible. You can take as many as you like, in any order, and because they are asynchronous you can take them at any time it suits you. You will be awarded a badge for each individual course, once you have completed all four courses you will gain your micro-credential.

The cost for each individual course listed below is $60. For more Information email: training@portagecollege.ca or call 780-623-5631 or toll-free at 1-888-745-0719.
