How many hours are required for a European Credit Transfer microcredential?

 title: 'Framework - Credential As You Go'

In the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), a full academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits, which usually equates to a total workload of 1500–1800 hours, irrespective of standard or qualification type[4]. For micro-credentials specifically, the MicroHE Consortium defines them as having a size that confers a minimum of 5 ECTS credits, indicating a significant learning workload tied to new credentialing frameworks[5].

This supports a more flexible approach to education by allowing learners to accumulate credits gradually across various educational paths, enhancing recognition of skills and knowledge acquired[3].
