What are microcredentials? - Grace McCabe, Times Higher Ed

As the popularity of microcredentials continues to grow, we look at what they are and what they can do for students and professionals who are considering upskilling in their chosen industry.  Also known as microdegrees or nanodegrees, they are often on-demand online courses that can be completed in your own time and provide certification upon completion. They are designed to be fast, accessible and specialised. One example of a microcredential may be if you are working in a computing and information technology role and you need to learn a new programming language. You may be able to take a microcredential in the specific language you need and at the end you will have certification of that new skill, which can be applied to your role.
