Deakin U continues to position itself as a leader in the para-qualifications market, sponsoring a conference on micro-credentials and accreditation, in Melbourne next month. It’s a pitch to professional associations, including workshops on how micro-credentialing can work presented by Engineers Australia and the Marketing Institute.

Deakin expanded its skill certification service in November, with an agreement with the Australian Marketing Institute. Its Deakin Co subsidiary is also talking to the NSW Universities Admission Centre about using the university’s micro-credentials to match outcome based assessments to the Australian Qualifications Framework.
