What Are Microcredentials?

Microcredentials are short, flexible courses designed to fit around your life and work.

They help you quickly build in-demand career skills that enable you to stay up to date with relevant and emerging practices.

Why Should You Consider Studying a Microcredential?

At Griffith College, our microcredentials provide you with bite-sized qualifications to meet specific, in-demand skills and knowledge. They are designed to fit seamlessly into your schedule, with flexible learning options allowing you to study at your own pace. 

  • Flexible Learning: Microcredentials fit conveniently into your schedule, allowing you to learn at your own pace. They're perfect for busy professionals looking to upskill without taking a significant break from work.
  • Industry Relevance: Our courses are developed in collaboration with industry leaders to meet specific skills needs, ensuring what you learn can be immediately applied in your career.
  • Internationally Recognised Qualifications: All our microcredentials are QQI accredited and are on the National Framework of Qualifications, guaranteeing the quality of the courses and with the added benefit that your course will be recognised internationally.
  • A Pathway to Further Study: The credits earned from microcredentials count towards further study, with a variety of progression options available in undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
  • Wide Range of Courses: With over 40 microcredentials to choose from, including courses in design, business, law, media and creative arts, there is something for everyone.

Graduate Testimonials

 

We checked in with past students to see how Griffith College courses made a difference in their lives. Here's what they had to say!

Maksim Aleshnikov

The Live TV and Studio Broadcast course was a fantastic opportunity to gain professional skills. I learned a lot, there were interesting lecturers who were great professionals working in the industry and excellent facilities and equipment. I hope to work with live TV in a studio with this course.

Cert art and design

Whether you like fashion, interiors, fine art, or even photography, I got the opportunity to find out what I love and what I dislike. The certificate is a perfect stepping stone as you have the option to finish with a level 6 or advance to a level 7 or 8 in whichever field you desire.

When I look back at the year I can hardly believe the difference in the way I approach and execute any photographic task, either Digitally or Film, all thanks to the skill set I’ve gained over the last academic year.



I originally only signed up for the Cert but have enjoyed the experience so much that am now going to continue to the 2nd year of the BA in Photographic Media
