National pilot Microcredentials

Acknowledged value

As part of Lifelong Learning, the University of Amsterdam is participating in the national pilot Microcredentials. Together with 33 other higher education institutions, it is shaping a system in which digital certificates for individual educational units have recognisable and identifiable value.

What are microcredentials? 

A microcredential is a digital certificate that allows professionals to demonstrate acquired knowledge and skills after successful completion of an individual teaching unit (3 - 30 EC).
