Irish universities set up joint platform for micro-credentials - John Walshe, University World News

Over 300 university accredited micro-credentials have been launched on a new platform called MicroCreds.ie which the Irish Universities Association (IUA) says is the first of its kind in Europe. More will be added as they are developed. The launch by two government ministers on Tuesday is the result of research and planning by the association in cooperation with seven of its members and with enterprise stakeholders – all partners in the ambitious MicroCreds Project which started in 2020 at a cost of €12.3 million (US$13.8 million). The courses, typically between four and 12 weeks in length, are delivered either fully or partially online and deal with key skill areas such as sustainability, digital transformation, aircraft leasing and fintech. Fees range from €250 to €2,000.
