What is a micro-credential?

Unlike most short courses where you just get a certificate at the end, a micro-credential earns you academic credits. Why is that cool? Because, if you want to take your learning further, you can stack these credits towards one of our Master’s degrees. Starting small today can EXpand your opportunities tomorrow.

Live, online learning

Unlike other online courses where you learn alone, our live sessions connect you with other students, your facilitators and industry experts. Learning is more fun with friends!

Short courses, with credits

Our Level 8, NZQA-accredited micro-credentials are worth 15 credits. These bite-sized courses can click together towards a Master's (which are worth 180 credits, at Level 9).

Scholarships available now!

The EXplorer scholarship has been created to make learning a reality for as many people as possible. Just pay the $50 admin fee for our micro-credentials. Learn more.
