QAA Cymru - Micro-credential enhancement project (HEFCW-funded): Practicalities of Delivery

Wednesday 7 June, 10.00 – 11:30 (Online)

During 2022-23, QAA Cymru has been undertaking a HEFCW-commissioned project to learn more about Micro-credentials in Wales and share practice across the sector.  

Micro-credentials are small credit-bearing awards that, individually, do not comprise a qualification as listed on the Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications. There is more information about Micro-credentials in the Micro-credentials Characteristics Statement.  

This work builds on the case studies developed by HEFCW in the publication Higher Education for the Nation: Developing Micro-credentials. More information is available in this blog. 

As part of this work, QAA is undertaking a short survey with regulated higher education providers in Wales and following this up with some short discussions on current Micro-credentials activities.  

The webinars will be an opportunity to share practice in the area of Micro-credentials in the context of the QAA Micro-credentials Characteristics Statement.  

The two webinars will be hosted on: 

1. Quality Assurance Processes: Wednesday 24 May, 10.00 – 11.30 
2. Practicalities of Delivery: Wednesday 7 June, 10.00 – 11.30
