Accreditation and stackability

students completing microcredentials at Blackhall Place

Upon successfully completing a course assignment, a digital micro-credential is awarded. This is a recognised qualification that can be added to your CV, and LinkedIn profile, as proof of a standard of knowledge in a specific subject.

The advantage of the Law Society of Ireland micro-credentials is that they can be ‘stacked’, one-by-one over time to lead to a greater award from the Law Society of Ireland.  The completion of two micro-credentials results in the award of a Certificate, and the completion of four micro-credentials leads to the award of a Diploma.  A graphic showing how two microcredentials lead to the award of an advanced certificate in legal practice and three microcredentials lead to the award of an advanced diploma in legal practice

*The awards above are relevant to solicitors and barristers. Other professionals will be awarded an Advanced Certificate in Legal Studies or an Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies.
