I wish this short course was available to me before coming into a nursing degree. It would have helped me so much doing this course before I started as a Bachelor of Nursing student, it would have prepared me so much more.

Microcredentials are industry relevant, university certified courses which enable you to address professional learning needs and advance your skill set without needing to commit to a full multi-year degree.
The National Microcredentials Framework defines microcredentials as a certification of assessed learning or competency, with a minimum volume of learning of one hour and less than an AQF award qualification, that is additional, alternate, complementary to or a component part of an AQF award qualification.
Microcredentials at Western are taught through the online learning platform OpenLearning. Through this platform you are able to learn at your own pace through interactive and engaging modules. Through these courses you are also part of a growing classroom, able to connect with other learners and your teacher. Some specialised courses are also taught through online zoom sessions and face-to-face sessions on campus or other facilities.
