How Micro-Credentials Work
First City UC Micro-Credentials are designed to make skills-based learning simple, flexible, and accessible — whether you’re upgrading your skills or exploring a new career direction.
Step 1: Explore Micro-Credential Courses
Browse our range of short, industry-relevant courses across different skill areas. Each course clearly outlines what you will learn, how it is delivered, and who it is designed for — helping you choose the option that best fits your goals.
Step 2: Enquire or Apply
Once you’ve found a course of interest, submit an enquiry or application through our platform. There is no obligation at this stage. Our team will guide you through the next steps, answer your questions, and help you understand how the course fits into your learning or career pathway.
Step 3: Learn Practical, Industry-Relevant Skills
Micro-Credentials focus on real-world application. Courses are delivered through flexible modes such as online, blended, or campus-based learning, allowing you to balance learning with work and personal commitments.
Step 4: Build Skills, Progress, or Stack Your Learning
Upon completion, your micro-credential stands as recognised evidence of your skills. Where applicable, selected micro-credentials may also contribute towards further study or professional development pathways — allowing you to continue learning at your own pace.
Designed for Flexibility
Micro-Credentials are short, focused, and modular. You choose what to learn, when to learn, and how to progress — without the long-term commitment of a full-time programme.
