Completion and Recognition

Upon completing a module, you will receive an industry-endorsed digital certificate that can be displayed and shared across platforms. Completing a series of modules can lead to formal recognition and further educational pathways.

Completing the modules can help you to gain accredited recognition for your learning via an assessment-only pathway with a nominated Training Organisation.

All the micro learnings have been mapped against the knowledge and skills evidence in the Diploma of Leadership and Management – which has shown us how to ‘package’ the micro learning modules in a way that builds towards recognition for many units within the Diploma.
