ITM Institute of Design & Media (IDM), Andheri, has announced the launch of its Micro-Credit Workshops, a new initiative aimed at empowering design aspirants with certified, flexible, and skill-based learning opportunities in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Designed for aspiring and current design students, these online workshops are free for IDM students and offer 0.5 verified academic credits per workshop. Participants will receive certification from ITM Skills University, with credits securely added to their Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) via DigiLocker through their APAAR ID, ensuring seamless integration with India’s evolving higher education framework. These workshops are fully compliant with NCrF (National Credit Framework) and NHEQF (National Higher Education Qualifications Framework) standards.
Conducted by top-tier design faculties and industry professionals, the Micro-Credit Workshops focus on practical, project-based learning that reflects the demands of today’s creative industries. Students can learn from anywhere, gaining hands-on experience in design and media while enhancing their academic and professional profiles through micro-credentialing.
“Our goal is to make high-quality, skills-based education accessible, flexible, and future-focused,”—Ms. Nisha Chanda, Director, ITM IDM, ITM Skills University. “Through these micro-credit workshops, we are not only supporting our students’ academic growth but also preparing them for the dynamic, fast-changing world of design and media.”
