Despite the lack of a widely accepted definition, scope and regulation (Varadarajan et al. 2023), the use of micro-credentials (MCs) holds immense potential to address the challenges of traditional higher education, particularly in terms of accessibility, flexibility, employability, and inclusivity. This study delves into the rise of micro-credentialing and its evolution in the education and training landscape post-COVID-19. It identifies the challenges and unanswered questions that primarily emanate from a lack of clarity regarding applicable quality standards and regulatory frameworks and the undefined breadth of the scope and function of MCs.
