Micro-credentials are small learning units based in compentencies and allow learners to obtain a certification for a single, short learning unit or to stack them into a larger programme

Micro-credentials

We all need to continuously enhance and refresh our skills and compentecies. As we seek to become relevant in the job market, micro-credentials provide a flexible way of following smaller, certified learning experiences.

Think of a micro-credential as a mini qualification that proves you’ve mastered a specific skill or area of knowledge. It’s flexible, portable, and designed for real-world needs—whether you’re a student, a professional, or a lifelong learner. Each micro-credential is assessed against clear standards, belongs to you, and can be shared or combined into bigger qualifications. They are useful for boosting your CV, advancing your career, or exploring new interests.

CIVIS has been exploring this educational format and a new wave of micro-credentials is on the way!
