What is a technical microcredential?

A technical microcredential is a short, flexible course designed to quickly build in-demand skills for the modern workforce. Blending live instruction with self-paced learning, these cohort-based courses offer a high-impact, affordable way to upskill. Students benefit from peer interaction and networking opportunities within a supportive, engaged cohort.

The IBM Software Engineering online technical microcredential is built for aspiring software developers and early-career tech professionals — specifically those who have some basic skills but want to develop them into a more holistic set of core competencies.

  • Crucial skills in Linux, Git and other cloud-based tools.
  • Foundational knowledge of agile and scrum methodologies.
  • A core understanding of how applications are built and deployed in the cloud.

Whether you want to break into the industry or pivot into a software-focused role, this program can help you achieve your goals — on your schedule.
