Microcredential courses

Why an MC course?

The Executive Academy offers courses that respond to the current needs of the public and private sectors in various economic areas.

All of these courses, when successfully completed, result in an EU-wide microcredential (also microcertificate), which is an officially recognised document of completion of a specific course, confirming acquisition of specific knowledge and skills. The EA microcredentials are entered in the official national register and comply with the European quality framework.
