On September 14, 2023, Varduhi Gyulazyan, head of ANQA’s Institutional and Programme Division, participated in the BFUG TPG C working group on the QA of micro-credentials. Within the scope of the meeting, the representatives discussed a guide on the QA of micro-credentials, which was developed by the working group. The guide outlines quality assurance approaches applicable to quality assurance agencies.
The participating agencies’ representatives also discussed the following issues:
- The a need to develop a quality assurance system for awarding micro-qualifications in participating countries.
- The need to involve employers in the process of micro-credentials quality assurance.
- The representation of micro-credentials quality assurance outcomes in EQAR’s Database of External Quality Assurance Results.
In the near future, the working group will develop recommendations for the embedment of micro-credentials quality assurance systems in the member countries.
