ICMA’s Micro-Certificate programs provide highly targeted, meaningful professional up-skilling designed to ensure local government professionals have the adaptive advantage to perform the work that must be done–right now. Think of our Micro-Certificate programs as a bootcamp for those who want to grow their competencies in subjects most relevant to their professional lives, in ways that allow them to acquire skills that are not only vertical, but transversal.

All micro-certifications are grounded in the ICMA Practices for Effective Local Government Leadership.

An additional fee of $249 is required for micro-certifications.
