The document discusses recognition of short learning programmes (SLPs) and microcredentials. It provides an introduction to recognition and highlights the benefits of recognizing SLPs and microcredentials for learners, institutions, and employers. Approaches to recognition across partner institutions in the ESLP project are presented, with most allowing credit transfer within the institution but with variability between countries. Validation of non-formal and informal learning is also discussed. Recommendations are provided for curriculum design of SLPs to aid recognition, including use of learning outcomes and prior learning assessment.
