The Australian VET system already provides government subsidized
vocationally relevant qualifications. These are made up of
nationally standardized components, with recognition of prior learning
available, and nest to form larger qualifications.

Microcredentials are, in part, an attempt by the university sector to do 
what VET already does, and by private organizations to get a cut of the 
business. But I don't think many academics, and provide providers, 
understand the complexity of standardized education modules, and the 
discipline it imposes.

I did a university Graduate Certificate, and then the TAFE equivalent. 
So I got to compare the two systems.
