Microcredentials are offered in 5-week sessions, and students must start their microcredential within 7 days of the session start date
Each microcredential requires 20–26 hours of instruction time, plus more for completing assignments
It is highly recommended that students take only one microcredential at a time. The microcredentials are rigorous and DFI wants students to succeed.
Although registration is free, a few microcredentials require a small purchase to complete (see individual microcredentials for details)
Students can earn a portable digital badge by scoring an 80% or better on all assignments and quizzes, AND an 80% or better on the capstone project
