European Commission’s requirements
According to the European Commission a micro-credential is « a proof of the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a short learning experience. These learning outcomes have been assessed against transparent standards. » The proof is contained in a certified document that lists the name of the holder, the achieved learning outcomes, the assessment method, the awarding body and, where applicable, the qualifications framework level and the credits gained. Micro-credentials- are owned by the learner,
- can be shared, are portable and may be combined into larger credentials or qualifications. They are underpinned by quality assurance following agreed standards.
EuroTeQ focus
Within EuroTeQ, micro-credentials serve as a vehicle for flexible and extra-curricular learning offers that 1. address competences that go beyond the typical core curricula, 2. provide insights into the essence of other disciplines creating a basis for transdisciplinary cooperation or 3. lay the basis for collaboratively handling societal challenges, 4. link technical aspects with entrepreneurial or business competencies or 5. address a cross-cutting theme that is potentially relevant for various disciplines. Micro-credentials merge different perspectives of the various backgrounds of learners and teachers and are linked with a distinct, targeted learning experience with clearly defined learning outcomes that are assessed against transparent standards. Within our European University, we bring together different types of learners from various countries, which safeguards the fostering of intercultural competencies.All EuroTeQ partners offer selected micro-credentials for EuroTeQ students and professionals.
EuroTeQ micro-credentials will be offered in English. The micro-credentials are mostly online. Some may be offered in hybrid or blended form.
A quick explanation of these terms:
- hybrid = participants can attend online or in person at the offering university
- blended = the course is largely online but there may be face-to-face elements
If taking place completely online, they can be either time-specific (synchronous) or not time-specific (asynchronous).
The workload and number of ECTS may be adapted to the learner needs and capacities (student, professional) but will generally range between 2 and 10 ECTS.
Professionals
Technologies and technological applications change fast over time. Lifelong learning and constant upskilling is therefore indispensable to be successful in your career. To keep professionals on top of the state-of-the-art knowledge, each EuroTeQ partner has developed continuing education formats with their local eco-systems.
EuroTeQ micro-credentials are an important element of the learning paths for lifelong learners from different professional backgrounds. We develop the offer in a continuous co-creation process with industry and professional bodies to make sure that the defined paths are target group focused, agile and flexible.
The learning experience is awarded by official universities with ECTS, is stackable and envisaged to be granted in a digital wallet (unique certificate). You apply at a specific EuroTeQ university for a micro-credential offer. Please note that for professional participants, costs may apply.
