Study portfolio mapped to DCUK milestones
At DCUK, your learning for all areas of study is through microcredentials which are short, flexible, and highly focused qualifications designed to help learners quickly develop in-demand skills. Each microcredential provides targeted learning that can be completed in weeks rather than years, making them ideal for upskilling, reskilling, or exploring new professional pathways. Recognised by employers and aligned with industry needs, microcredentials offer practical, career-boosting knowledge with the option to stack into larger qualifications.
