ABOUT US
Established on October 23, 2025, JMICRO aims to enhance the credibility, transparency, and utility of micro-credentials in Japan, informed by domestic and international developments in the field. Micro-credentials are a system for learning in smaller units than a traditional degree and certifying those achievements.
