Micro-credential Bundles
Micro-credentials can be completed individually or as a bundle. Completion of one micro-credential at Governance Institute qualifies for admission to the postgraduate course.

Established
Those at established level possess a breadth and depth of understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required within the capability area and can articulate and apply them in various contexts with confidence. They demonstrate a high level of independence, initiative, and ownership in their work, exercising good judgment in increasingly complex and dynamic environments and proactively seek solutions to challenges that arise. They are trusted advisors to their colleagues and serve as role models to less experienced governance professionals. They are alert to external influences that may affect their organisation.

Digital Badges
Like a physical testamur, or certificate of attainment, digital badges are a visual representation of an achievement, skill, or knowledge that you can earn by completing a course. Digital badges are a tangible way to share and your credentials as part of your online CV, portfolio or on social media. They are designed to be easily verified by employers, other verification agencies, and recruitment professionals and adhere to regional and global credential frameworks. Micro-credentials, their associated digital badges and designations are aligned to the Governance Institute Capability Framework and are accredited by Governance Institute of Australia.
