MICROCREDENTIALS BUILT FOR TRUST

Build microcredentials that represent real achievement

Go beyond badge creation. Design complete microcredential programmes that connect learning outcomes, activities, evidence, assessment, quality assurance and verifiable issuing.

MICOO gives every achievement the context it needs to be understood—and the proof it needs to be trusted.

WHAT MAKES IT A MICROCREDENTIAL

Completion says it happened. Evidence shows what it means.

Attendance and completion can be useful signals, but they do not always explain what a person can actually do. A meaningful microcredential connects the claim to observable achievement and makes the verification process clear.

No credential needed yet 01 · SIGNAL

Participation

Confirms that someone joined a course, activity or experience.

Common credentialing platforms stop here 02 · MILESTONE

Completion

Confirms that someone reached the end of a defined learning journey.

Microcredentials go a step ahead 03 · PROOF

Demonstrated achievement

Shows what the learner produced, which criteria were applied and who approved the result.

A microcredential should explain not only what someone completed, but what they demonstrated and how that achievement was verified.

THE MICROCREDENTIAL PROCESS

Turn learning into recognition people can trust

Trust is not added at the moment of issuing. It is built through the decisions that connect a learning outcome to the final credential.

  1. Skills

    Define what the learner should demonstrate.

    Reference outcomes to ESCO or other recognised repositories.

  2. Activities

    Create activities that make skills observable.

    Use AI to design activities that generate assessable evidence.

  3. Evidence

    Capture the work behind the claim.

    Learners collect and submit evidence through a dedicated app.

  4. Assessment

    Evaluate evidence against clear criteria.

    Use an expert-developed rubric for consistent assessment.

  5. Achieved

    Complete the final issuing steps.

    Add blockchain anchoring, authorised signatories and cryptographic signing.

  6. Credential

    Issue a portable, verifiable credential.

    Access, share and export it in interoperable formats.

EVIDENCE-BASED BY DESIGN

Turn learning outcomes into demonstrated achievement

Define challenges that ask learners to do something meaningful—not simply click through content. Each challenge can combine activities, requirements and evidence that make the intended outcome visible.

Learners can contribute documents, images, audio, video and screen recordings. MICOO keeps those materials connected to the achievement they support, creating a coherent evidence dossier for assessment and verification.

  • Build challenges from multiple activities and requirements
  • Collect documents, media and screen-based evidence
  • Connect every submission to the intended outcome
  • Keep the evidence dossier available to assessment

ASSESSMENT WITH CONTEXT

Make every decision clear, consistent and defensible

MICOO helps assessors review the evidence behind a claim and evaluate it against structured criteria. Rubrics make expectations visible, support more consistent judgement and create a clearer basis for approval.

With the Assessor App, professional judgement remains at the centre of the decision while evidence, criteria and outcomes stay connected in one process.

  • Review evidence in the context of the intended achievement
  • Apply structured rubrics and explicit criteria
  • Record the assessment outcome
  • Make issuing dependent on the required approval
01Evidence reviewContext visible
02Structured rubricCriteria explicit
03Assessment decisionOutcome recorded
04Required approvalIssuing controlled

The assessment model reflects the quality principles at the heart of credible microcredential practice: transparent outcomes, relevant evidence and understandable criteria.

ASSURANCE THAT FITS THE PURPOSE

From automated issuing to controlled awarding

Not every credential needs the same workflow. A high-volume completion credential and a professional competence award carry different expectations, risks and responsibilities.

REPEATABLE · SCALABLE

Automated journey

Best when the issuing condition is clear, repeatable and already verified by the connected workflow.

  • Condition completed
  • Automatic issuing
  • High-volume programmes
  • Minimal administration
  • Integration-based trigger
EVIDENCE · GOVERNANCE

Controlled awarding

Best when the credential represents assessed competence, regulated responsibility or a higher-value decision.

  • Evidence required
  • Assessor evaluation
  • Authorised approval
  • Signers and governance
  • Quality framework

The right process is not the most complex one. It is the one proportionate to the value of the credential.

QUALITY AND GOVERNANCE

Make quality part of the credential—not an afterthought

A credible microcredential needs clear responsibility for the claim, the assessment, the approval and the standards applied to the process. MICOO keeps those responsibilities connected from design to issuing.

01 · PRINCIPLES

Quality Framework

Define the principles and controls that shape the credential process.

02 · RESPONSIBILITY

Awarding Body

Take responsibility for the award and the conditions under which it is issued.

03 · RECOGNITION

Endorsing Body

Add external recognition where an endorsement is relevant to the credential.

04 · APPROVAL

Authorised Signers

Make approval explicit through the people empowered to validate the award.

05 · ACCOUNTABILITY

Governance record

Keep roles, decisions and applied controls connected to the issuing process.

A TRACEABLE BASIS FOR TRUST

Support every claim with a traceable process

When someone verifies a MICOO credential, they should be able to understand more than whether a file exists. They should be able to trust the process that produced it.

MICOO preserves the relationship between the credential, its issuing data, the supporting dossier and the controls applied along the way. Blockchain anchoring on Polygon adds an immutable reference that supports independent verification without making the technology the story.

  • Integrated and independent verification
  • Traceable issuing history
  • Complete credential dossier
  • Preserved evidence and process data
  • Immutable blockchain reference

DESIGNED TO GROW

Build pathways, not isolated credentials

One credential can recognise a focused achievement. A connected set can show progression, specialisation or the completion of a broader programme.

Organise microcredentials into pathways, groups, sequences and programme structures that help learners understand what they have achieved and what they can pursue next.

  • Create progressive learning pathways
  • Group credentials around roles, skills or programmes
  • Combine focused achievements into a larger story
  • Give learners a visible sense of progress

PORTABLE BY DESIGN

Let achievement travel beyond the platform

A microcredential creates more value when people can keep it, share it and use it wherever their next opportunity appears.

MICOO credentials can move beyond the platform through familiar files, open standards and compatible wallets—while remaining connected to a verifiable record.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What organisations ask before they begin

Not necessarily. A badge can be a useful visual representation, but a meaningful microcredential also explains the achievement, the criteria, the evidence and the organisation responsible for the award.

No. MICOO supports both automated and controlled workflows. The appropriate model depends on what the credential represents and the level of assurance it requires.

Yes. A challenge can collect documents, images, audio, video and screen recordings, depending on the activity and the achievement being demonstrated.

Yes. Assessment, authorised approval, signers and organisational responsibilities can be included when the awarding process requires them.

MICOO supports public and independent verification, portable formats and open credential standards so that achievements can be used beyond the original learning environment.

Yes. Credentials can be organised into pathways, groups and sequences that represent progression or a broader programme.
