Microcredentials are short, skills-focused courses designed to help you build job-ready knowledge fast. Each one is packed with practical, industry-relevant content and includes activities and assessments to demonstrate your learning.

When you complete a Microcredential, you’ll receive a SSC Professional Certificate that showcases your skills and can be used as evidence of competence in the workplace.

You can complete a single Microcredential or stack multiple courses to customise your learning journey—building the right skills, in the right order, for your goals. Some Microcredentials may also contribute credit towards future vocational or higher education study, depending on the course and provider.

Your subscription unlocks unlimited access to a library of Microcredentials, with features tailored to your plan:

• Essentials Plan: Self-paced learning with engaging resources and certificates of online learning.
• Premium Plan: Everything in Essentials plus AI support, trainer forums, webinars, and networking groups.
• Professional Plan: Includes accredited certification, assessment support, and formal recognition of your skills.

You can view or upgrade your plan at any time to unlock additional benefits.

A professional course is an accredited learning delivered by South Sydney College (SSC) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 45279) based in Sydney, Australia.
