"Fanshawe’s Microcredentials provided me with the ability to have multiple team members participate in the same course, getting the same content delivered in a very effective manner. Microcredentials are a great training option because they don’t require too much time to participate and don’t take too much time away from other priorities. They are current, cost-effective, fast and focused, and can be easily integrated into existing training and leadership programs. I look forward to having more of my staff participate in microcredentials as new topics are introduced and I highly recommend them as a way to offer professional development opportunities to employees."
