Pros and Cons of Accepting the Micro-credential
How it Works
Enrolees in the GEE-Plus and GEE Leader Coach programmes are eligible to earn a micro-credential. We assess your work, will let you know if have earned it, then ask you if you wish to accept it. It costs USD190.
There are three micro-credentials on offer:
Peer-Leader in the Global Enterprise Experience (8 points at NZQA Level 6)
Leader in the Global Enterprise Experience (12 points at NZQA Level 7)
Leader Coach in the Global Enterprise Experience (15 points at NZQA Level 7)
Pros – What are the benefits of the micro-credential?
- A micro-credential worth 15 points at Level 7 is the equivalent of a typical 300 level paper. It can be used to replace a paper at final year undergraduate or graduate diploma.
- The decision rests with your programme director who decides based on the level and relevancy of the micro-credential toward your degree or graduate diploma.
- The micro-credential is also a standalone qualification that you add to your cv.
- Micro-credentials can be stacked to build a qualification.
- The micro-credential may be useful for applications for immigration, further study, or jobs.
- Victoria University of Wellington is ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world. New Zealand has signed international treaties with Europe, North America, and Asia/Pacific assuring high levels of quality. This means students can easily have their Victoria University of Wellington qualification accepted in other universities and countries.
- The micro-credential is internationally accepted as quality assured, and published so that it is authentic, tamper-evident, and legally valid.
Cons – Why would you not choose to have the micro-credential?
- It costs USD190 - which we pay directly to Victoria University of Wellington
- You will receive your Global Enterprise Experience certificate. While done to university standards, this is not published on a system that is authentic, tamper-evident and legally valid, nor has the status of university quality assurance. But it does have the status of winning a United Nations Alliance of Civilizations award!
- The qualification may be of no relevance to you. You participated for the learning, impacting emerging leaders, and through them the UN SDGs.
If you have earned a micro-credential then we will email you with the offer. If you choose to accept the offer, then we will pass your details to Victoria University of Wellington. They will contact you to process your application. It costs USD 190.
We will email you an invitation to attend the award ceremony at New Zealand's parliament. The invitation will include the link to the online ceremony.
We will email a link to your certificate and letter of commendation within a week of the ceremony.
Those who attend the ceremony will also receive a hard copy.
