Microcredentials offer
About
Microcredential courses lead to acquiring an additional specialisation or professional competence. They are designed to provide specific knowledge and focused, skill-based training that can be completed in a short period of time. Earning a microcredential can help learners progress in their careers by demonstrating proficiency in a specific area. Microcredentials may be stand-alone or combined into larger sets of credentials (stacked). They lead to certification and/or to awarding a certain number of ECTS credit points.
Microcredential courses are offered to learners at different stages of their studies or career paths – from high school graduates through university students to lifelong learning participants, making it beneficial for upskilling and reskilling current workers.
Microcredential courses offer variety and flexibility in terms of format, duration and mode of delivery. They can be face-to-face, blended or entirely online (offered in a synchronous or asynchronous mode). Their specific characteristics and admission requirements are listed under the micro-credential course description.
