Learning more about micro-credentials

On 8-9 November 2022, more than 60 representatives of the EQAVET Network joined an online Peer Learning Activity on quality assurance of micro-credentials in vocational education and training.

As the main focus of the event, par­ti­ci­pan­ts got in-depth infor­ma­ti­on on the features of the 2022 Council Recommendation regarding a European approach to micro-cre­den­ti­als. Micro-cre­den­ti­als document the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a small volume of learning. Further input included pre­sen­ta­ti­ons on the Irish example of using micro-cre­den­ti­als within the further education and training sector, the interim findings of an ongoing Cedefop project related to micro-cre­den­ti­als and on approa­ches to micro-cre­den­ti­als in Sweden, Estonia and Spain.

Karin Luomi-Messerer con­tri­bu­ted to the planning and imple­men­ta­ti­on of the event as a thematic expert for the EQAVET Secretariat. Read more about the event here or download the synthesis report.
