The National Microcredentials Framework was released on the 22nd of March 2022. The Framework aims to provide a nationally consistent framework for defining microcredentials across higher education (HE), vocational education and training (VET), and industry.
On Target Work Skills is proud to have developed a learning program about how to implement the National Microcredentials Framework. This program consists of:
- 2-hour training session
- Assessment tasks (optional).
This program is being delivered as a microcredential with the following characteristics specified by the National Microcredentials Framework:
- The learning outcomes for the microcredential must be clearly stated
- A microcredential requires assessment that provides evidence that learning outcomes have been achieved
- Microcredentials must have a volume of learning that is at least one hour
- Microcredentials may certify the attainment of skills, knowledge, and competencies.
