A QUALIFICATION TO FIT AROUND YOU

ACT MicroCredentials gives you the freedom to learn key treasury skills on your schedule.

Launching in September 2025 with our respected Certificate in Treasury, MicroCredentials have been designed to give you expertise in core treasury areas. In March 2026 our MicroCredentials offering will be expanded to include the Certificate in International Cash Management.

Whether you're new to treasury, building on years of experience, or upskilling your team, ACT MicroCredentials help you upskill with purpose, refresh your knowledge, and explore new areas of treasury while fitting around your work-life schedule.
