Micro-credentials
IUA universities are collaborating to lead the establishment of a National Framework for quality-assured micro-credentials, the first in Europe, under the MicroCreds project.
University of Galway are currently developing an agile suite of flexibly delivered micro-credentials as part of this project.
How does CPD work?
As a busy professional you need to keep up to speed with the ever-changing workplace. We offer many flexible ways to develop your professional skills on a continuous basis.
This can range from one day seminars with leading experts and researchers, to modules using blended learning or online learning.
