What is Micro-Credential?

The economy demands continual lifelong and life-wide learning of all adults to remain employable, adaptable, and productive. Now more than ever, the job market has an urgency for Micro-Credentials – these short learning chunks focus on specific professional skill sets to ensure that the qualification earned will meet industry-specific needs, and is relevant and recognised by future employers. The micro-credential could either be a component of an accredited programme or a stand-alone course that supports the professional, technical, and personal development of the learners. When completed, the micro-credential will provide learners with a digital certification or a ‘digital badge’.

Types of Micro-Credentials

There are two types of Micro-Credentials that can be executed.

Stand-Alone Micro-Credentials
