Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a microcredential?

A microcredential is a shortform of learning that according to the Australian government is between an hour to smaller than an award qualification (ie Diploma, Bachelors or Masters Degree). It has formal assessment and may provide credit towards an award qualification. Microcredentials are a fast, practical way to upskill or reskill in the shortest possible time.

What’s the difference between a microcredential and a short course?

Both microcredentials and short courses focus on a specific topic area or skill set and are designed to meet the needs of learners, employers and industry.

A short course does not contribute credit towards an award qualification and is not recorded on an academic transcript. Students who complete a short course are provided with an RMIT Certificate of Completion.

Do employers value microcredentials?

There are two key reasons employers value microcredentials – they demonstrate initiative, and provide concrete evidence that you’ve developed specific, transferable skills and knowledge. 

What can I do with a microcredential course?

Microcredential courses are the ideal supplement to your professional skills, helping you to stay abreast of developments within your industry. They’re also a great way to branch out, expand your knowledge base or dip your toe into a new field.
