Fast Track Your Career
Unlock New Career Opportunities in Less Time With Fast Track
Can you see yourself trained and job-ready for an exciting new career or upgrading your professional skills in a matter of months or weeks? Maricopa Community Colleges now offers two types of Fast Track Training—certificates and microcredential pathways—that increase your worth in the job market and demonstrate your expertise in a specific area. Both provide a fast, affordable way to gain the skills and knowledge you need to start a career with opportunities, stay competitive in your field, and earn the pay you deserve to live the life you want!
Fast Track Options
Fast Track Certificates
Where a standard degree program can take two to four years, you can complete a Fast Track Certificate in as little as two semesters. These programs consist of highly focused classes to help you master a specialized track in a particular study area. Expand your knowledge base by earning additional certificates or stack them to work toward a degree and become even more valuable to employers!
Fast Track Microcredential Pathways
Micocredential Pathways consist of microcredentials developed with prominent employers. Each of our Fast Track Micocredential Pathways can quickly prepare you for an in-demand job making a living wage. Not only that, microcredential pathways are stackable—that means they count toward an associate and applied bachelor’s degree in a related area if and when you want to take your learning further.
Get Credit for What You Already Know
You deserve credit for college-level learning you’ve done through another school, work, a training program, or the military. You can apply qualifying learning toward earning a Fast Track Certificate! Verify your possible transfer credits through a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA).
