FXUA Micro-Credentials

Traditional higher education degrees tell employers what you have done. Micro-credentials tell employers what you can do – specifically, what you can do to make them more successful. At FXUA we applaud the completion of an academic journey but, moreover, enthusiastically celebrate those specific and measurable competencies that you can visibly bring into the workforce. This is the unique difference that FXUA can bring to you.
