UNESCO IESALC’s free course on micro-credentials in Latin America and the Caribbean was scheduled to begin on 12 October, according to the institute’s published timetable. The programme is aimed at university leaders, policymakers and professionals working on education quality.
The 25-hour online course covers learning outcomes, assessment, regulation and the practical work of running short programmes. Participants are expected to develop a micro-credential proposal for a higher education institution, including a management plan and arrangements for checking quality.
The institute’s announcement, published on 29 September, sets 27 December as the course’s end date. It says participants who finish the training receive a participation certificate and a digital credential.
For institutions considering shorter study options, the programme offers a structured way to examine how those qualifications are designed and recognised. Readers should check the official course page for current registration availability; the published start date alone does not establish whether late enrolment is possible.
