UMAP Thailand Micro-credential offerings

King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) is delighted to introduce the Thailand UMAP Micro Credential program which aims to fulfil the needs of learners who seek to upskill and reskill, develop needed specific competencies, or lifelong learning.  

KMUTT Micro-Credential is a system that “verifies” and “enhances” an individual’s specific skills using competency-based assessment. With this approach, an individual can efficiently and clearly demonstrate their competencies by submitting evidence or work samples according to the evaluation criteria. It is ideal for “Self- Learners” — those who are able to learn by themselves outside a classroom environment — who wish to evaluate their competency. Through micro-credentials, an individual can demonstrate their valuable competencies irrespective of how and where they are learnt. When an individual passes the evaluation criteria, they will earn a Digital Badge issued by KMUTT as a verification of their competency.
