Technical Specifications

In April 2025, the QualityLink consortium published a set of draft technical specifications. The QualityLink project aims to create an open, reliable and scalable ecosystem for quality data on micro-credentials and other courses.

That’s the question at the heart of QualityLink — and we’re hosting a free webinar to explore it.

As the European micro-credential landscape grows in Europe, learners and institutions need course data that is open, easy to compare, and reliable. Currently, it often lacks the needed interoperability.

You’ll also get to test the QualityLink course platform live and share your feedback.

This webinar is for you if you work in higher education (in particular for European Universities alliances), digital transformation, interoperability or micro-credentials.
