Our micro-credential courses are hyperflexible, self-guided and self-paced, meaning you can undertake the study in your own time at your own pace. You can stop and start your course at your leisure. To go back into your micro-credential, please follow the instructions above.

The duration time indicated for your course provides an approximate estimate of how long it will take you to complete all course materials (including readings, videos and activities) as well as undertake the relevant quiz. This is a merely a guide.
