Students must complete 1 AWS certification to complete this certificate. This program is ineligible for financial aid . Basic Certificates of Proficiency Basic Certificates of Proficiency (also called BCs or BCPs) represent micro-credentials that students earn as they progress toward higher certificate or degree attainment. A micro-credential is a focused credential that is earned in a relatively short amount of time and represents a distinct skillset or knowledge base. While micro- credentials have value in and of themselves, they are also designed to stack together, leading to completion of a higher certificate or degree. As such, they serve as formal, documentable markers of progress in a student's educational journey. Because basic certificates of proficiency are not typically standalone credentials, students typically do not participate in BRTC's graduation ceremonies until they also successfully complete another Certificate of Proficiency, a technical certificate, and/or an associate degree. The following table presents the basic certificates of proficiency currently offered at BRTC. Certificate Name 1st Course in Certificate 2nd Course in Certificate Hrs A+ Computer Technician
