Hear from learners who completed a Scrum Alliance microcredential.
This on-demand course was very helpful and well laid out. I appreciated that I could go through at my own pace and have an estimation of how long each section was.
This course was outstanding and very good for product owners. I liked how it stepped through the process and gave good examples on how to use in the "real world."
I think it was great to have such a catered course. Normally, people talk in software development terms and don't translate well for marketers.
A microcredential is a qualification that demonstrates your knowledge in an in-demand discipline or topic. These accessible courses are quick, focused explorations so that you walk away with in-demand agile skills without a significant time commitment.
Scrum Alliance microcredentials are:
- Lifelong: They do not expire
- Highly focused on a topic or skill
- Granted after you complete a course of 8 hours or less
- May be delivered live online, in-person, or with on-demand interactive content
Compare that to Scrum Alliance certifications, which:
- Expire after 2 years and require earning SEUs and paying a renewal fee in order to remain active
- Are a broad exploration of a topic that often equips you with multiple new skills and approaches to leverage at work
- Granted after you complete a multi-day course
- Delivered live online or in person
A microcredential is a standalone qualification. Microcredentials do not add up to or lead to a certification.
Microcredentials are a great way to add on to your existing skill set. For example, the capabilities you showcase with a Certified ScrumMaster badge are bolstered by an AI for Scrum Masters microcredential, for example. Having both shows that you are a scrum master committed to growing your abilities.
Scrum Alliance microcredentials are self-contained learning experiences independent from the material covered in certification courses or any other offering. You can complete microcredentials and certifications and you will walk away with unique learnings from each.
Scrum Alliance microcredentials are not introductions to certification courses. You can complete one or more microcredentials independently of any certifications and you'll have gained in-demand professional skills you can apply at work immediately.
Scrum Alliance microcredentials do not expire, and you will not need to renew your microcredential.
The membership you receive with your microcredential will expire in two years. You can renew it a few ways:
- By earning any Scrum Alliance certification or new microcredential course
- Paying to renew your membership when it expires
- Attending a Global Scrum Gathering
Yes, Scrum Alliance microcredential courses include a two-year membership with Scrum Alliance.
This membership entitles you to discounts, exclusive offers, access to the Comparative Agility improvement platform, and networking opportunities with User Groups.
If you are a current member with Scrum Alliance, your membership expiration date will reset to two years from the date of the issuance of the new membership. Certification renewal is not included.
