Micro-credentials
Move your people and your business forward.
Micro-credentials are small, stand-alone qualifications that certify the achievement of specific skills or knowledge.
A micro-credential can help people attain industry-specific skills to enter the workforce quickly. They can also help employers to retrain and upskill staff in response to changes in the workplace.
Micro-credentials are much shorter courses than traditional programmes, typically running for just a few weeks. They can be created with flexible learning options to make them suitable to fit study around work or family commitments.
NMIT is looking to partner with businesses to develop micro-credentials to help address critical skills shortages.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Turn your work experience into a qualification.
If you already have work experience, you don’t need to start from scratch; study with NMIT and use your past experience to fast-track your qualification. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a process that involves formal assessment of a learner’s relevant and current knowledge and skills (gained through prior learning) to determine achievement of the learning outcomes of a qualification for the purpose of awarding credit towards that qualification.
RPL leads to credit being awarded for existing skills, knowledge, and attributes acquired without regard for the length, place or method of learning (e.g. workplace, life experience, hobbies, self-directed study).
