The quotes below are from ICI participants from our beta test of the program. Check out what they had to say!
I truly appreciate how the core courses laid the foundation for microcredentials. Though I have been working with microcredentials for awhile, I did not have all the foundational knowledge provided in the core courses. This information was also extremely useful to our MC team. We will continue to use this foundational informational in the future.
I took this certification to learn about the benefits of credentialing and how to set up a plan. I can now speak with leadership about its benefits and hopefully start formulating a plan for implementation.
