In this energizing episode of Tried and Tested, host Isabelle Gonthier sits down with Johnna Georgieva, Senior Psychometrician and Director of Assessments at the Dental Assisting National Board, to explore the evolving landscape of micro credentials.
Johnna shares her personal journey into the world of psychometrics and how a chance mentorship led to a 20-plus year career in credentialing. Together, Isabelle and Johnna discuss why micro credentials are surging in popularity, particularly in healthcare, and how they provide accessible, stackable learning opportunities that empower professionals to upskill on their own terms.
Together, they also discuss:
- Why there is no single definition of micro credentials and why that can be a strength
- How micro credentials support workforce agility and retention in times of staffing shortages
- The role of AI and adaptive learning in shaping the future of credentialing
- How organizations can ensure quality and credibility in their micro credential offerings
Whether you are a testing professional, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode offers a timely and practical look at how micro credentials are opening new doors for individuals and institutions alike.
