MCS1 - EU Proposal Writing and Administrative support

Trainingforall

World Alliance for Microcredentials

Description

This microcredential validates the ability to transform an initial project idea into a coherent, competitive and evaluator-oriented Erasmus+ proposal. Learners develop skills in needs analysis, intervention logic, partnership design, work packages, impact planning and technical-budget alignment. Through applied writing, peer review and responsible use of generative AI, they produce and refine a structured Erasmus+ proposal.

Learn-and-Earn Microcredentials

Learn-and-earn microcredentials require completing a structured learning experience, such as a course, workshop, or learning path. Afterward, you must demonstrate mastery of the acquired skills through assessments or evaluations. This type ensures your knowledge is both acquired and validated, making it ideal for those seeking to enhance their expertise while earning a recognized credential. It combines education and skill validation, offering a clear pathway to professional growth.

Non-Formal Learning

This microcredential supports non-formal learning experiences. It recognizes skills gained through workshops, online courses, or workplace training, offering a flexible way to validate targeted learning outcomes. It's perfect for those seeking recognition for practical, hands-on learning outside traditional institutions.

Our approach

We are driving a step change in qualitative microcredentialing and the issuance of microcertifications.

Certifications are awarded based on demonstrated skills, ensuring that competencies are validated through evidence.

With activity-based assessments and certified assessors, microcredentials can be earned significantly faster than through traditional methods, while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability.
