This programme is for anyone who is driven to innovate and lead digital transformation in their organisation and understand changing customer behaviour. 

Micro-credentials are bite-sized, credit-bearing programmes, which allow professionals to control their own development. Each micro-credential completed will award you 5 ECTs, or occasionally 10 ECTs, which you can use towards the parent Professional Diploma from which it is drawn. Alternatively, your micro-credential can stand alone as a valuable qualification by itself. Read more about micro-credentials here.

Digital Innovation can be taken as a micro-credential and is the first step towards progressing to a Professional Diploma in Leading Digital Transformation, awarded by UCC.

If you want to take this programme as a micro-credential, the following terms apply:
A candidate’s eligibility for each micro-credential will be determined by a combination of their academic qualifications and/or relevant professional experience.
A primary degree from a recognised third level institution (NFQ level 8), with a minimum classification of Second Class Honours, will typically be required with five years relevant work experience, at least 3 of which must be at managerial level, however, prior workplace learning will be recognised where applicants do not meet the academic requirement.
This experience may come from a general business or organisational background, or experience working at a management level or in the area specifically related to the micro-credential. The candidate may be interviewed by the Programme Director. The IMI Office of the Registrar will oversee all applications, and the final decision on any application shall remain with the IMI Registrar.
All applicants whose first language is not English will be required to show evidence of the successful completion of an IELTS or TOEFL test or equivalent as specified within the application form. The English language requirement when using IELTS is a score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each individual section or equivalent.

Upon programme completion, you will receive an e-certificate specifying the learning hours undertaken. Many industry bodies have different criteria for accepted courses, eligible CPD hours, and required documentation. Please check the criteria and, if appropriate, submit the e-certificate as evidence of your participation. Please keep the e-certificate secure as you may need it for verification purposes at a later date.
