*What is a Microcredential?

A Microcredential is a short-course or program targeting specific skills or knowledge. A Microcredential is of shorter duration than a certificate or degree program but may act as a pathway to a formal qualification. Please enquire directly with the course provider if you would like to use the Microcredential to contribute to further qualifications.
