Micro-credentials (explained in English)

Micro-credentials are a new kind of short-term courses that allow you to learn skills and competencies within a specific topic. This means that you will gain industry-specific knowledge and a recognised certificate to prove your newly-acquired skills.

What is a micro-credential?

A micro-credential is a short, focused education course where you earn a certificate as proof of your acquired knowledge and skills. For this reason, a micro-credential is always concluded by an exam to allow you to demonstrate your achieved learning.

Micro-credentials focus on a particular skill and not a broader subject. For this reason, micro-credentials can be completed quicker than traditional continuing education programmes.
Micro-credentials are built on a foundation of clear standards and quality assurance. This gives you the following advantages:

If you should want to translate your micro-credentials into a full module, you can apply for a so-called prior learning assessment (PLA) to obtain your final certificate of a completed module. Please contact our quality and education coordinator.
