Microcredentials are certifications, often in the form of a digital badge, that verify a learner’s competency in a specific skill or set of skills.

At Kingsborough, we have bundled classes in our User Experience (UX) Design training program to create an 8-week UX Microcredential program.

They are competent in conducting research with users, mapping qualitative data, gaining insights to generate inspiration, designing sketched and digital clickable prototypes.
