Micro-Credential Outline

This contemporary micro-credential allows flexibility in many of its components and will be delivered fully online. The relevant sector in Ireland is demanding and many professionals must juggle demands of work and home life leading to the need for flexible learning at the learner’s pace. This module therefore entails seven hours of synchronous learning (in the form of live tutorial classes) combined with the other key components consisting of pre-recorded lectures, reflective exercises, independent study & assessment preparation to be completed asynchronously. We feel that the flexibility in the delivery of the micro-credential will be attractive to the target employer and professional learner, making this micro-credential a competitive offering
