Sumario:[EN] Micro-credentials are increasing in popularity due to their capacity to offer an award for a small volume of learning that is backed by an academic organisation. HE has traditionally offered larger volumes of learning as major awards and has a QA system designed for such awards. This paper presents a quality framework for a HE to offer micro-credential awards, while still maintaining public faith in the quality of the HE’s awards.
