Why Should You Consider Micro-Credentials?

Technology and business practices change at a breakneck pace, so the concept of lifelong learning has never been more crucial. One innovative approach to staying competitive is through AT*SQA's Micro-Credentials.

The AT*SQA Micro-Credentials are bite-sized credentials focused on specific areas of knowledge or skills within software testing and quality assurance. Unlike traditional certifications, these credentials can be earned in a fraction of the time, offering immediate proof of your expertise in niche areas like test automation, cybersecurity testing, or agile methodologies.

For individuals looking to enhance their career, these credentials show proof of specialized knowledge, making one's resume stand out when compared to others. Employers often regard candidates with micro-credentials as proactive and committed to their professional development, which can lead to better job opportunities, promotions, or shifts into more specialized roles. Moreover, these credentials are designed to be stackable, meaning you can build upon them like Lego blocks, eventually leading to more comprehensive certifications.

AT*SQA makes it easy to build your career, earn promotions, and advance to higher-level jobs. See our full list of AT*SQA Micro-Credentials and get started on one or two today. Plus see below for the bonus – you can stack your micro-credentials to a full certification!
