Micro-Credential Badges

Boston City Campus Micro-Credential Badges recognise verified skills gained through structured, subject-specific learning. These digital credentials show that you have completed a focused series of learning activities designed to build applied knowledge in a defined area.

Micro-credentials consist of multiple related lessons that work together to develop depth of understanding. 

Each Boston City Campus micro-credential badge is digitally issued and can be shared online, added to CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and professional portfolios. Employers can verify the badge and clearly see the skills you have demonstrated, not just the course title.

Micro-credentials are suited to students, professionals, and career changers who want to strengthen their skill set, support formal studies, or demonstrate capability in a specific discipline.
