Credential Courses

SHSMD Digital Credentials are verified, shareable badges that showcase your proficiency in specific skills and knowledge areas. These credentials are earned by successfully completing designated SHSMD programs, which involve rigorous testing, examinations, skill demonstrations, or project completion. Additional requirements may include participation in discussion boards, quizzes, group work, presentations, and additional readings/assignments as assigned by faculty. Upon successful completion of all requirements, participants will be awarded with a verified SHSMD Credential. A credential boosts recognition, as profiles with certifications and credentials are viewed six times more often, according to a LinkedIn study. Learn more about SHSMD Credentials.
