Helping to drive the future of microcredentials and stackable education

Cranfield University, one of FutureLearn’s most exciting and forward-thinking partners, is helping to drive the future of microcredentials and stackable education. Cranfield’s online stackable programmes in business and management allow learners to build their own qualification by their own time-scale, beginning with Bronze-level badges, to more advanced learning in Silver and Gold modules, all the way through to a Master’s degree.

Meanwhile, a landmark partnership with the prestigious French hospitality institution Ferrandi Paris will allow learners to access over a hundred years of knowledge in gastronomy and hospitality. FutureLearn will host Ferrandi Paris training programmes based around foundational skills, innovation and real-life practical situations. 

FutureLearn is also introducing General Assembly’s latest coding bootcamps onto the platform as part of a new Affiliate Marketing partner service. The 12-week bootcamps covering software engineering, data analytics and UX design will fastrack learners to meet the continued demands in tech.
