What Microcreds mean for you

What will a Micro-credential mean for your career or future study?

Having a Micro-credential will mean that you have studied a university level course and completed it to this standard. Each Micro-credential will give you skills and knowledge related to the work environment and should assist in your career development.  In some instances, Micro-credentials may be of benefit for your Recognition of Prior Learning, when taking other related higher awards at the university.

What do Micro-credentials mean for business or employers?

Skills shortage in key areas can be met by upskilling staff with these short courses. Also investiment in your people through learning opportunities should aid with staff retention and demonstrate your commitment to their development.
