How do I join a microcredential?

You can join a microcredential by clicking on the "Join now" button, under the microcredential title.

While most courses have just one enrolment date, some courses may have several; if this is the case, you will see the dates in the section titled 'When would you like to start?' - if you'd like to join a later run instead just click 'join' next to the relevant date.

Some microcredentials are also on-demand; this means that you can join at any time while the course is open for enrolments. 

For these courses you will see a 'start date' (often in the past but, if not open yet, may also have a date in the future) and a 'join by' date.

The 'start date' is the day the course opens for enrolments; the 'join by' date, is the date by which learners can join this course.

These are courses you can join at any time by the 'join date'; when you join, you have access to the course immediately and follow the course as normal. Any assessment information, including a submit by date, will be provided within the course.

For other microcredentials please see our Non-hosted microcredentials article.
