UWA+ Micro-credentials and short courses - Frequently asked questions
- What are micro-credentials?
-
Micro-credentials are short courses. Successfully completing a micro-credential showcases mastery of specific skills, knowledge and/or experience in a given subject area or capability. Designed to meet students’ flexibility requirements, micro-credentials focus on skills that are in high demand by employers and industry, and provide the opportunity for you to update, upskill or reskill in specific areas. UWA Plus micro-credentials are delivered by UWA or by an external provider via an agreement with UWA.
UWA Plus short courses are also short courses focused on specific skills or knowledge in a given area. Unlike micro-credentials, UWA Plus short courses are not stackable for conversion to academic credit.
- Are micro-credentials right for me?
-
If you’re interested in upskilling in a specific area with the option of gaining university credit, micro-credentials may be right for you. Check the specific micro-credential listing for details.
- How is a micro-credential different from other types of study?
-
Micro-credentials are short, specific courses designed to be stackable. They give you the flexibility to pick and choose what works for you, so you can complete a one-off micro-credential or stack multiple micro-credentials to convert to academic credit towards an undergraduate or postgraduate course.
UWA Plus short courses are also short, specific courses - but are not stackable to convert to academic credit.
- What are ‘stackable’ micro-credentials?
-
Micro-credentials are ‘stackable’ because you can combine multiple micro-credentials that may be converted to academic credit towards an undergraduate or postgraduate course.
- Why are micro-credentials valuable?
-
Successfully completing a micro-credential showcases mastery of specific skills or knowledge. Micro-credentials contribute to your skillset and employability, and create pathways for continued learning.
