The phenomenon of micro-credentials is not a new one. Small, usually short in duration, courses leading to different types of awards or credentials are already dominant in many education and training sectors, professions and labour market systems such as in diving instruction, IT certification, and also very importantly in continuing professional development for health workers. Preliminary findings from the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training’s (Cedefop) ongoing study on micro-credentials role in facilitating learning for employment shows that employer organisations in the following sectors are most active in making use of micro-credentials: information and communication (31%), accommodation and food service activities (22%), human health and social work activities (22%) and manufacturing (22%).
