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.
