What are Curtin Credentials?

Curtin Credentials are the University’s newest education offering for professionals and new graduates. These short courses are designed to equip learners with technical and transferable skills that are relevant to today’s workplaces.

Credentials are currently offered under five themes reflecting the increasingly digital and ever-evolving nature of modern jobs.

	Innovation Unleash an inner entrepreneur and blend creativity and problem solving skills to create valuable new products and services.
	Leadership Develop positive, sustainable, resilient and inclusive traits to guide life, career, and organisational directions. Learn what it takes to motivate and inspire in a contemporary business setting.
	Influence and Persuasion Equip the learner with skills and strategies to make effective change and become a persuasive thought leader in their career.
	Future of Work Thrive and adapt in the changing world of work by developing and broadening a skillset in a range of areas.
	Digital Mindset Embrace advances in digital technology, explore how it impacts our lives, and develop digital skills to equip the learner for the future of work.

Learners can complete standalone credentials or complete courses within a theme to build their expertise in a specific area. Credentials are offered online, in person and a mix of both. They range from one day to five days, offering different levels of complexity.

At the completion of each credential, learners earn a digital badge that can be instantly shared with their professional networks. Credentials can also be stacked into a Graduate Certificate of Professional Practice.

Credentials are a valuable space for universities to enter into. The World Economic Forum (WEF) The Future of Jobs Report 2020 found that 85 million jobs will be displaced by 2025 as a result of increasing automation and pandemic-related disruption. Among jobs set to remain, over 50 per cent will require re-skilling.

The WEF has outlined the need for micro credentials and a skill-based ecosystem to allow for continued learning and professional development, ensuring people can adapt and thrive in this new skills landscape.

Curtin Credentials enables learners to further their professional development with a trusted higher education institution. To find out more, visit the Curtin Credential’s Catalogue.
