What are Microcredentials?

Microcredentials are academic or professional credentials that focus on specific skills and knowledge rather than encompassing a complete educational program like degrees. Rather, microcredentials allow you to demonstrate the skills acquired from start to finish in an extensive program. These credentials are smaller in scale and are also awarded for completing a defined set of courses, training, or experience in a particular area. They are often used to validate the acquisition of specific skills in a given field.

Specialization

Microcredentials allow individuals to acquire specific skills and knowledge in a particular field. This facilitates specialization and constant updating of skills in a constantly changing academic and work world.

Academic and work relevance

By focusing on concrete and in-demand skills in the labor market, microcredentials can increase employability and career opportunities. Employers value candidates’ ability to demonstrate specific competencies.

Demonstration of skills

With microcredentials, people do not have to wait to finish a long academic or training process to obtain a diploma, but throughout the process they can be rewarded with microcredentials that allow them to demonstrate all the specific competencies obtained.
