Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the cost of a microcredential?

Microcredentials with Deakin cost $400 (usually $495), which includes the cost of independent assessment.

What is the difference between ISV’s digital badges and microcredentials?

ISV digital badges showcase educators who have engaged with a particular professional learning event. Badges are issued by ISV, but they do not carry an accreditation.

ISV’s partnership with Deakin provides access to accredited microcredentials. These microcredentials are also displayed via a digital badge, however, these badges are issued by Deakin University and can contribute towards a master degree.

Can I use Deakin microcredentials as credit towards further study?

Professional practice credentials can be used as a stepping stone into postgraduate study. Two credentials equals one credit point into a masters degree. You can earn up to two credit points (where course rules allow). Find out more.
