TA Micro-Credentials
Small courses. Practical skills.
Professional development that fits into your day
What is a Micro-Credential?
A micro-credential is a short, focused learning experience designed to develop or demonstrate knowledge and capability in a particular skill or subject area.
Unlike a VET qualification or a full day course, a micro-credential concentrates on a specific area of professional practice and can generally be completed in a much shorter period.
TAAA Micro-Credentials are designed as professional development, rather than formal VET qualifications. Participants complete a focused 90-minute learning session and receive a TAAA Micro-Credential/Certificate of Completion recognising the topic undertaken.
These are only available to TAAA members.
