Micro-credentials for classroom confidence

Australian teachers will be able to access free micro-credentials through the University of Adelaide, to help improve learning outcomes in classrooms.

The micro-credentials give current and pre-service teachers the tools and knowledge to navigate a wide range of classroom challenges, helping you feel more prepared and in control across diverse scenarios.

They are available on three topics:

The project is part of the National Teacher Workforce Action Plan. The micro-credentials have been developed by industry-leading academics at the University of Adelaide, in partnership with the Australian Department of Education and in extensive consultation with state and territory education bodies – including Independent Schools Victoria.

The micro-credentials are free to undertake until 30 June 2026.

Completing just one of these three micro-credentials can count towards the annual 20-hour professional learning requirement for maintaining your teaching certificate.

Enrolments for the first micro-credential on Classroom management are now open; Explicit teaching and Teaching phonics will be available in the coming months.
