## [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)

 Nov 4, 2024, 9:44:19 AM

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.
