Microcredentials: The new flexible training to boost your career

A fast and practical learning option to improve your skills and earn official certification in high-demand fields.

Barcelona, 29 Jan 2026

Microcredentials are short, specialized training programs that allow you to quickly and flexibly acquire specific skills. Offered by Barcelona Activa in collaboration with Catalan universities, these programs provide a recognized European accreditation, registered in Europass, and are aligned with current challenges such as digital transition, sustainability, and social inclusion. Moreover, they focus on high-demand professional areas and cater to individual needs through different formats: in-person, virtual, or hybrid. 

These programs are organized into two key areas: Blue Economy, which includes programs related to the sustainable management of water resources and marine conservation, and Care Economy, covering fields like caregiving and healthcare. These courses provide hands-on training that enables participants to enhance their skills and tackle work challenges with up-to-date knowledge. 

The program is open to individuals seeking to redirect their professional path or improve their career prospects in emerging sectors. To apply for the selection process, interested candidates must complete the registration through the Barcelona Activa website. Participants will be invited to an informational session, where they will undergo an interview to validate the specific requirements for each microcredential. 

The program offers focused and effective training, ideal for those looking to update their skills in a short amount of time. Additionally, the certifications earned open up new job opportunities in growing sectors and improve participants’ working conditions.
