Micro-credentials are small, stand-alone awards with set learning outcomes. They're part of New Zealand's education and training system.
Micro-credentials recognise learners' skills, experience or knowledge, while meeting demand from employers, industry and communities.
Micro-credentials listed on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF):
- are up to 40 credits in size
- are at any level of the NZQCF
- have an assessment component
- are delivered by accredited education providers
- are developed because there's evidence they're needed.
Although they're stand-alone awards, some micro-credentials may also form part of a programme that leads to a qualification.
