Micro-credentials offer individuals a new way to show their professional progress.

This video explains how they work and what the benefits are.

What is a micro-credential?

A micro-credential is a short credential.

It's quicker to complete than a university degree or the CPA Program, which we call macro-credentials.

A micro-credentialed course takes 20, 30, 40 or 60 hours to complete.

And each course is delivered at one of four capability levels: Developing, Proficient, Mastery or Expert.

How do they work?

Once an individual has successfully completed a micro-credentialed course, they can download a digital badge to showcase their achievement.

This icon can be placed on platforms such as LinkedIn, email signatures or digital CVs, providing a powerful way to signal skills and expertise to employers, clients and peers.

Some micro-credentialed courses will also provide an opportunity to earn a digital certificate at Mastery or Expert level.

These represent the successful completion of a longer period of study, such as a stack of micro-credentials or a CPA Program subject.

So what are the benefits?

As the industry changes, our micro-credentials offer individuals an opportunity to evolve their expertise and target their career goals.

There are four key benefits:

• Relevance - individuals can upskill in areas relevant to their unique career path
• Flexibility – individuals can choose the topic and pace of learning that suits them
• Speed – individuals can quickly gain incremental achievements
• Visibility – individuals can easily share their achievements as digital badges and certificates

Are they secure?

Yes. Both digital badges and certificates contain metadata, which is detailed, embedded information about the course, that peers, employers and education institutions can view.

It verifies the achievement and demonstrated skills, provides details on the course and assessment, and also ensures that badges and certificates are tamper-proof and can't be faked.

Launching our first micro-credentials

The first suite of micro-credentials we're offering is Digital Finance.

Digital Finance focuses on the ways we're using Technology to replace manual accounting practices.

From smartphone payments, to big data, AI and automation.

This suite of courses aims to better equip accounting professionals for the changing world we work in, so they can continue to progress their careers.

Digital Finance is a ‘stack’ of six micro-credentialed courses:

• The Digital Finance Ecosystem
• Data Interpretation and Visualisation
• Data Analytics
• Future of Money
• Technology and its use in Finance
• Risk management, governance and regulation

Each course is equivalent to 20 hours of study with an inbuilt assessment.

Once a course is successfully completed, we'll award a digital badge.

Each badge represents capability at a ‘proficient’ level.

To achieve a certificate in Digital Finance, individuals must successfully complete the full stack of six courses and pass a final exam.

The exam will assess knowledge across the Digital Finance suite at a higher ‘mastery’ level of capability.

That's a quick overview of micro-credentials from CPA Australia.

微证书为个人提供了

展现专业胜任力不断提升的新途径。

本视频将介绍如何获取微证书及其优势。

什么是微证书？

微证书是一种学制较短的证书。

相比大学学位课程或澳洲注册会计师课程，获得微证书的时间要短得多。

微证书课程通常仅需 20、30、40 或 60 个小时即可完成。

每门课程将对应以下四个级别之一：

入门级 (Developing)、熟练级 (Proficient)、精通级 (Mastery) 以及专家级 (Expert)。

如何获取微证书？

成功完成微证书课程的学习后，即可下载代表学习成就的数字徽章。

数字徽章可以上传到领英上，也可作为电子邮件签名，或者放在电子简历中，成为向潜在雇主、客户以及同行展现自身技能和专业知识的有效方式。

某些微证书课程

还提供了获取精通级

或专家级电子证书的途径。

这些证书代表着成功完成了一段更长时间的学习，如一系列微证书课程或者澳洲注册会计师课程中的某一科目。

微证书具有哪些优势？

随着行业快速发展，我们的微证书课程可为个人提供提升专业技能

并向职业目标不断靠近的机会。

• 专业相关性强——可以提升与自身职业发展紧密相关的技能
• 灵活度高——可以选择适合自己的学习主题并以自己的节奏进行学习
• 学习周期短——可以快速地提升专业技能
• 成果公开可见——可以通过数字徽章和证书轻松展示学习成就

微证书是否可靠？

当然！不论是数字徽章还是电子证书，均含有可追踪数据，这些有关课程的详细数据

可供同行、雇主以及教育机构随时查看。

它可以作为已掌握所学知识和技能的证明，提供有关课程和评估的详细信息，并确保数字徽章和证书不可篡改或伪造。

澳洲会计师公会首推微证书课程

最终考试将会对所有“数字化财务”系列微课的掌握情况进行评估，通过考试即代表已达到“精通级”。

以上是澳洲会计师公会微证书课程简要概述。

So with micro-credentials the best way to think of it, it is like a chapter of a book.

You can read a chapter and it's an independent chapter or you can read all of them and you get a bigger picture because you've read the whole book.

Micro-credentials can be stacked in the way where you can take a number of micro-credentials on a related topic and you can take two, three, four or five of them and stack them into a bigger piece of understanding or knowledge.

And, in many cases, we will then award a further certificate to represent the whole stack of those micro-credentials.

So why would a CPA member want to gain micro-credentials?

And why would they want to come to us?

We are specialising and focusing on micro-credentials in areas of domain knowledge and skills specific to accounting, but also to the business and finance professions in general where we're combining knowledge and understanding of new technologies and new information with specific practical skills.

We're developing very specific accounting and business-related micro-credentials which will immediately be attractive to our members, but will also differentiate our members because you won't be able to acquire those micro-credentials from other educational institutions.

理解“微证书”的最佳方式之一，是把它想像成一整本书中的一个章节。

在阅读中，你既可以选择阅读书中的一个独立章节，也可以选择阅读所有章节以整体了解，掌握整本书的内容。

微证书可以累积，通过参加不同科目相关主题的微证书课程，比如两科、三科、四科甚至五科课程的不断积累，更深入、全面地掌握这一领域的知识。

在许多情况下，我们将授予认可这些累积的微证书可以进一步换取认证。

The advantage of a digital badge or a digital certificate is not only is all the information captured in a digital format, but it is kept somewhere, so you can imagine it being kept in some kind of skills locker or skills vault that either you have access to, but usually a third-party holds on your behalf.

So anybody looking to find a potential employee with skills – can actually interrogate your badges and find them digitally through a digital search without having to have you apply for the job.

数字徽章或电子证书的优势不仅在于所有信息均以数字形式保存，而且他们可以被保存在任何地方，就像是被存入某种技能库中，不仅你本人能轻松获取，代表你的第三方通常也可查看。

因此，未来雇主在招聘具有指定能力的员工时，例如招聘一名会计师时，雇主可以很快通过网络搜索找到你的数字徽章，即使你没有提出工作申请，也能将你纳入候选人才名单培训机构均无法提供的。
