Micro-credentials

University programme Education and training
Granted by Universities and learning platforms Usual length Weeks to months Level All levels

What it is

Small accredited learning units that certify mastery of one specific skill. They add up over time and may count towards a larger programme. A recent format that spread because it does what a degree cannot: update a single skill quickly.

Who it suits

Employees who want to update a specific skill without studying full time.

What it requires

These vary by programme, and most are open.

How it is earned

Register through the awarding platform or university, and ask whether the unit counts towards a larger programme if that is your aim.
