The Australian VET system already provides government subsidized vocationally relevant qualifications. These are made up of nationally standardized components, with recognition of prior learning available, and nest to form larger qualifications. Microcredentials are, in part, an attempt by the university sector to do what VET already does, and by private organizations to get a cut of the business. But I don't think many academics, and provide providers, understand the complexity of standardized education modules, and the discipline it imposes. I did a university Graduate Certificate, and then the TAFE equivalent. So I got to compare the two systems. https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2013/08/certificate-iv-in-training-and.html -- Tom Worthington, http://www.tomw.net.au _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
