Maybe, but microcredentials are not necessarily just-in-time, or learning.
A micro-credential is not something you can necessarily do in a few
hours. Even if you don't have to do a course, assembling the
documentation for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), or preparing to
sit a test can take days, or weeks, of effort.
Micro-credentials from commercial providers tend to be purely a test,
with no learning. It is assumed you already have learned on the job, or
in some training course.
The VET and TAFE programs tend to have RPL, with optional courses. You
first get recognition for what you already know, and then do courses for
what you don't.
The university micro-credential tend to require doing the course, with
less scope for skipping what you already know.
