Empower continuous upskilling with credentials

In partnership with academia and industry, Siemens, the world’s foremost industrial software provider, delivers credentials that differentiate learners and help industry leaders recruit the right talent.​

What are credentials?

A credential is a verification that a learner has acquired specific knowledge or skills.

A microcredential is a type of credential that can be earned in hours, weeks or months as opposed to other credentials, like a degree, which may take years to obtain.

A digital badge is a type of credential that includes a badge to display on a LinkedIn profile, email signature or other platforms online.
