Micro-Credentials, Open Badges & Europass
The Future of Learning
Ready to discover how education is being reshaped through tools like micro-credentials
and open badges — and how they can empower your learning journey?
What Are Open Badges and Micro- credentials?
Micro-Credentials are short, focused learning experiences that are typically part of formal or structured training. They follow clear learning outcomes, are assessed, and often align with national or European qualification frameworks. Think of them as mini certifications with formal recognition.
Open Badges are a digital format used to represent all kinds of learning achievements — formal, non-formal, or informal. They are portable, verifiable, and shareable across platforms. A micro-credential can be issued as an Open Badge, but not all Open Badges are micro-credentials.
In short: Micro-credential = what you earned, Open Badge = how it’s shown.
What is Europass?
Europass is the European Union’s official digital platform for managing and sharing your skills, qualifications, and learning achievements. Think of it as your online learning passport — a trusted and standardized way to store certificates, micro-credentials, and Open Badges in one place.
With Europass, you can

- Upload your Open Badges — including those representing Micro-Credentials
— earned through TerraCert and other platforms. - Generate professional CVs and cover letters tailored to EU standards.

across Europe.
Europass ensures your learning is recognized beyond borders, making your skills visible and portable in an ever-changing job market.

Why Is the EU Focusing on These?
The European Union is reimagining education for a fast-changing world. Traditional systems often fail to keep up with the evolving needs of the job market and society.
That’s why the EU supports tools like micro-credentials and open badges — they
offer:
- Lifelong learning opportunities.
- Recognition of practical and informal learning.
- Faster paths to employment.
- Cross-border recognition of skills.
- More inclusive access to education.
These tools create a flexible and future-proof learning ecosystem, empowering citizens to gain and prove skills — anywhere, anytime.
