Deakin to grow credentialing services

Deakin U is expanding its professional accreditation services in partnership with NSW’s Universities Admission Centre.

According to UAC, it is joining with university subsidiary Deakin U to, “develop a system for credentialing workplace skills for individuals and businesses.

“The credit and recognition of prior learning system will leverage UAC’s 30 years of higher education application and assessment experience with DeakinCo’s innovative micro-credentialing programmes.”

DeakinCo launched a certification service in November for the Australian Marketing Institute which will assess applications evidence of competence in five fields for a $495 fee. While not formal qualifications, certifications are “aligned with international qualifications and industry skill frameworks” and may be counted for credit for Deakin courses.

“Through DeakinCo, Deakin has created the framework, model, technology and internal capabilities to sustain a world-class professional credentials system, underpinned by rigorous assessment methods and validated by industry, a university spokesperson told CMM November 19 2018
