Why Micro-Credentials?
Micro-Credentials are designed with a specific learning path and involve studying a programme at your own pace in a mainly online environment.
In most cases, students pursue Micro-Credentials because they offer the flexibility for you to study at your own pace allowing you to complete a programme in your own time.
Master of Education (Early Childhood Education) provides the opportunity for students to delve further into what it takes to successfully guide and teach children.
