Recognition of our micro-credential in European Union

The European Union (EU) Council adopted a Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability on 16 June 2022. The Recommendation aims to promote the creation, implementation, and recognition of micro-credentials across institutions, industries, and national borders. Micro-credentials validate the learning outcomes of the short courses and make them easily recognized all over the EU and could be transferred credits into the academic degrees.

All Micro Degree from UKeU adhere to the Recommendations on a European approach to micro-degree for lifelong learning and employability and are credit-bearing. This ensures our Micro Degree are more easily recognized across Europe.

‘Micro-credential’ means the record of the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a small volume of learning. These learning outcomes will have been assessed against transparent and clearly defined criteria. Learning experiences leading to micro- credentials are designed to provide the learner with specific knowledge, skills and competences that respond to societal, personal, cultural or labour market needs.

Micro-credentials are owned by the learner, can be shared and are portable. They may be standalone or combined into larger credentials. They are underpinned by quality assurance following agreed standards in the relevant sector or area of activity

In short, micro-credentials are short courses that you can earn an official credit for. 

(Ref. 5a – Definitions – Council Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability)

Our micro-credential is accredited by both the independent accreditation bodies of the UKeU and Partner University.

Besides, our micro-credential programs is meet full the requirements of EU’s micro-credentials and:

  • Annex IV of the European Qualifications Framework Recommendation.
  • The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area.
  • The European Quality Assurance Reference Framework (the EQAVET Framework) in the field of vocational education and training.
  • ISO 21001 – Management systems of Higher Education Institutions

Quality:

Our micro-credential is a part of internal and external quality assurance. The quality of our courses is the same as our accredited academic programs.

Our internal quality assurance covers all the following elements:

  • the overall quality of the micro-credential itself, based on the standards referred to below;
  • the quality of the course, where applicable, leading to the micro-credential;
  • learners’ feedback on the learning experience leading to the micro-credential and;
  • peers feedback, including other providers and stakeholders, on the learning experience leading to the micro-credential.

As European standard elements to describe micro-credentials are recommended as a resource to support the implementation, we put these elements to describe your micro-credential:

  • Identification of the learner
  • Title of the micro-credential
  • Country(ies)/Region(s) of the issuer
  • Awarding body(ies)
  • Date of issuing
  • Learning outcomes
  • Notional workload needed to achieve the learning outcomes (in ECTS credits)
  • Level of the learning experience leading to the micro-credential (EQF, RQF)
  • Type of assessment
  • Form of participation in the learning activity
  • Type of quality assurance used to underpin the micro-credential
  • Prerequisites needed to enrol in the learning activity
  • Supervision and identity verification during assessment (unsupervised with no identity verification, supervised with no identity verification, supervised online, or onsite with identity verification)
  • Grade achieved
  • Integration/stackability options (stand-alone, independent micro-credential/integrated, stackable towards another credential)

The use of the European standard elements to describe micro-credentials does not, in itself, imply official validation or recognition, but is a key enabler for it.
