What is a MicroCredential?
Focused, targeted learning covering a key treasury skill or knowledge area.
How are MicroCredentials different from full qualifications?
They are shorter and more focused but based on the same trusted ACT content. They allow you to take control over your own learning by building towards the Certificate in Treasury over time or upskilling in a specific area of treasury.

I’ve been working in treasury for a few years, are MicroCredentials still relevant?
Yes. MicroCredentials are perfect for refreshing your skills, deepening expertise in new areas, and staying ahead in a rapidly evolving treasury environment.
Do ACT MicroCredentials count towards CPD requirements?
If you are an ACT Associate Member or Fellow, MicroCredentials can contribute towards your annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
How are MicroCredentials recognised by employers?
Each MicroTopic demonstrates technical competence and practical knowledge, building your credibility and professional profile within the community.
Can I purchase multiple MicroTopics of the full set to complete the Certificate in International Cash Management?
If you are booking more than one MicroTopic and prefer that they do not begin at the same time, we can stagger your start dates to help ensure you have the full allotted time to complete each one successfully. After placing your booking, please email education@treasurers.org and let us know which MicroTopic you would like to begin first. Once you finish that topic, you can contact us again to activate the next one and continue this process until all topics have been completed. This approach ensures you receive full access for each MicroTopic.
