What are Micro-credentials?
Micro-credentials, also referred to as microcreds, are short, flexible, university accredited courses designed to help you develop new skills and advance your career. Developed in collaboration with industry, micro-credentials focus on practical in-demand skills that can be applied immediately in the workplace.
Designed to fit around work and personal commitments, micro-credentials offer flexible learning in smaller, manageable units - making it easier to upskill, reskill or explore a new area of interest at your own pace. Micro-credential courses typically award between 5 and 30 ECTS.
What You Pay
