Micro-credential verification

Micro-credential (-s pl.) is an an electronic record, a certificate of the completion of a smallscale learning module expressed in ECTS credits and the achievement of clearly defined and coherent learning outcomes, i.e. sets of knowledge, skills and attitudes that constitute capabilities (competencies).

These learning units are included in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), are subject to the system of standardised quality assurance processes and are assessed against transparent and clearly defined criteria. A unit of learning may be, for example, a lifelong learning programme, or a set of programmes (several concurrent or related lifelong learning programmes).
