Micro-credentials

Flexible, tailored and short, our micro-credentials combine meaningful training with recognised achievement.

What are micro-credentials?

Micro-credentials are short, targeted learning programmes (typically under 10 hours) designed to recognise the specific skills and competencies needed today. Highly focused on one area of study, our micro-credentials allow you to:

  • rapidly respond to evolving industry demands
  • local learning needs
  • your organisations’ requirements.

Our micro-credentials are recognised by a sharable digital badge. Hosted on Learning Vault, our digital badges validate learning milestones, event attendance and much more. 

Micro-credentials to meet your needs 

Whether you’re an employer aiming to upskill your team or a training provider growing your portfolio, our micro-credentials are designed to fit your goals. Choose the route that works best for you:
