You’ve heard of degrees, diplomas and certificates,
now get ready to add micro-credentials to the qualifications mix.
Our micro-credentials are EduBit's, recognised as equivalent to 5 Credits on the NZQF at Level 1 and has been awarded by Otago Polytechnic, a NZQA accredited Category One provider.
Micro-credentials are a formal way of recognising your skills and knowledge in a particular area that employers are looking for. They are aimed at people who want to:
-
upskill, or learn a specific skill
-
work with technology that is changing rapidly
-
change careers quickly, without having to take time off work to train
-
get specialised skills that employers are looking for
-
get credit for skills they already have.
They will make it easier for anyone to retrain, upskill or return to the workforce quickly
and cost effectively.
Differences between micro-credentials and qualifications
Micro-credentials differ from formal qualifications. They:
-
have to meet a range of requirements, including evidence of need from employers, industries, communities and iwi
-
can’t duplicate skills or topics already taught in qualifications
-
are worth between five and 40 credits, which means they are smaller than qualifications (which range from 40 to 360 credits).
