## [Traditional Diplomas vs. New Certifications: What's Best for You?](https://blog.herzing.ca/traditional-diplomas-vs.-new-certifications)

[![Smiling woman working on laptop](https://blog.herzing.ca/hubfs/diplomas%20vs%20microcredentials.jpg)](https://blog.herzing.ca/traditional-diplomas-vs.-new-certifications)

With all the flexible and convenient training options available today, choosing the right educational path has become even more of a challenge.

Diploma programs have long attracted students who are looking for practical, career-oriented education without the time and expense of a university degree. But recently, micro-credentials have been on the rise.

Micro-credentials are a relatively new type of training that focuses on specific skills or knowledge areas. They are typically shorter and more focused than diplomas, which cover more ground and are more widely known and accepted.

So which route should you go? That depends on a number of factors, including your career goals and whether you’re looking for incremental skill-building or a more formal validation of your expertise.

Keep reading to learn more about diplomas vs. micro-credentials and why you may want to opt for one over the other.

**Student Services Advisor at Herzing College**

 Over the years at Herzing, I have come across numerous examples of people “doing the right thing”. This ranges from politeness and manners to acts of kindness and compassion.

While it is tempting to touch on all that is wrong in the world, this is not the space for such observations. Instead, I want to bring to mind the capacity for each and every one of us to do our best insofar as “doing the right thing” is concerned.
