Microcredentials are short courses, usually offered online, with an emphasis on the needs of the workplace. More targeted than typical degree courses, they cover role-specific knowledge and help with essential workplace skills. They enable learners to study alongside their work, refreshing and updating their skills. With microcredentials, individuals can access the qualifications they need to get the jobs they want, retraining and upskilling whenever necessary.
These are exciting possibilities, but how can they be achieved? Written for everyone with an interest in the policy, practice, or production of microcredentials, this book takes a realistic look at what is possible. Rooted in experience, research and practice, it identifies what makes these new courses distinctive and provides guidance on how to go about producing them and supporting learners.
Chapters identify relevant pedagogies, suggest innovative and successful production processes, introduce ways of assessing and evaluating these courses, and discuss learner wellbeing. The book ends with visions of the future – how this field is likely to develop nationally, internationally, and within individual institutions.

Civil society groups perform three major roles in the Global South: an agent of democratic accountability and civilian oversight; a space for new discourses on security and development; and an alternative provider of people-oriented security.
