A micro-credential is a small, stand-alone credential which provides a way to recognise a learner’s abilities while meeting demand from employers, industry, and communities.
The intent behind them is to create sub-qualification sized learning that is meaningful to employers, and valuable and transferable for learners.
Although they’re stand-alone awards, some micro-credentials may also form part of a programme that leads to a qualification.
