MicroLens is NOCN's new collection of practical online courses that can be completed in just 10 - 15 minutes. Designed to fit around busy schedules, the courses support employability, workplace skills and personal development through flexible, self-paced learning.

Whether you're a college, training provider, employer or an individual looking to develop new skills, MicroLens offers a simple way to access practical learning whenever it's needed.

Supporting providers

MicroLens has been developed to complement existing qualifications and programmes, giving providers flexible learning that is easy to integrate into delivery.

The courses can be used as standalone learning, alongside existing programmes or as part of blended delivery to:

• support employability programmes
• develop workplace and transferable skills
• reinforce classroom and independent learning
• introduce new topics
• support learner progression

Because each course takes around 10 - 15 minutes, learners can complete them independently or alongside their existing studies, giving providers greater flexibility in how learning is delivered.

Supporting learners

Learning doesn't always have to mean committing to a full qualification. Sometimes a short course is all that's needed to build confidence, learn something new or prepare for the next step.

Whether you're preparing for work, returning to learning or developing workplace skills, MicroLens gives you the flexibility to learn at your own pace, whenever it suits you.

Learning that fits around modern life

Employers continue to value workplace skills alongside technical knowledge, while learners increasingly expect flexible ways to develop those skills.

MicroLens helps meet that need by offering practical online learning that fits around everyday life, making it easier to build skills one course at a time.
