Putting what you've learned into practice.
The Micro-Credential Practicum is a supervised placement in a real care setting — the practical follow-on to our online micro-credential courses. You work in the field with experienced supervisors alongside you.
Online Micro-Credential
Short, focused online courses you complete at your own pace — building one specific skill at a time.
Practicum
The placement happens in a real workplace, guided throughout by experienced supervisors — taking what you've learned and doing it for real.
Employment
Step into care work with hands-on experience and references from your placement.
From coursework to real-world practice.
The practicum is designed to follow on directly from our online micro-credential courses. You bring the knowledge; the placement gives you the experience to back it up — actual work in a real setting, with supervisors who can speak to what you're capable of. For many learners, it's also how they make their first connection to a potential employer.
