Cedefop (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) is conducting a study on microcredentials in education and training for the labour market. The goal is to better understand how microcredentials function outside formal education systems and identify the conditions that support their effective use in employment contexts.

The study covers all forms of microcredentials, including those referred to as digital or open badges, partial qualifications, micro-/nano-qualifications, module certificates, and others.

We invite you to participate in an online survey, where you can share your knowledge of a specific microcredential you are familiar with. The responses will contribute to the development of a comprehensive overview of how microcredentials are designed, delivered, and recognised.

Time to complete: 15-20 minutes
Survey open until: 27 June 2025
