Why Micro-Credentials Help Your Career
Software testing certifications will always be important for software QA jobs, but micro-credentials are also valued by employers. For example, we recently saw a job posting that required two AT*SQA Micro-Credentials in addition to certification.
Why are AT*SQA Micro-Credentials a good fit for your career? An experienced software tester told us:
"For anyone new to testing, they provide a great introduction and overview of the world of software testing. They are also broken up into bite-size chunks that are easier to understand and not as overwhelming as the larger full certifications."
But AT*SQA micro-credentials aren't just for new testers. He went on to say:
"For experienced testers, the AT*SQA Micro-Credentials provide a great way to brush up on fundamentals, plus possibly identify areas of interest or potential improvement for some of the more advanced topics.”
Why is this important? A quarter of employers recently surveyed said that due to technological advances, a skills gap is impacting their business, and almost half said it would affect them within the next two years.
This is an opportunity for you: Nearly 9 out of 10 U.S. employers agree that earning an industry micro-credential strengthens a candidate's job application. And U.S. employers are 76% more likely to hire a candidate who has earned a micro-credential.
AT*SQA makes it easy for you to build your career, earn promotions, and advance to higher-level jobs. See our full list of AT*SQA Micro-Credentials and get started on one or two today.
