What are micro-credentials

Micro-credentials are small, focused learning units that validate the acquisition of specific skills or knowledge. They are typically shorter and more targeted than traditional degrees or certifications, often focusing on a specific competency or skill set within a broader subject area.

How to use the toolkit

The toolkit includes a brief summary of EU recommendations to explain the principles of micro-credentials. It also features a Strategy Tool for Micro-credential Courses in VET Education, with clear, step-by-step worksheets to help you develop a solid uptake strategy. Finally, it presents recommendations from VET institutions.
