Micro-credentials offer
About
Micro-credential 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 micro-credential can help learners progress in their careers by demonstrating proficiency in a specific area. Micro-credentials 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.
Micro-credential 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.
Micro-credential 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.
