Frequently Asked Questions
Programme
-
Can I take just one micro-credential?
Yes! Each micro-credential is a standalone course with its own certificate.
-
How long does it take to complete one micro-credential?
It takes one trimester (3+ months) to complete a micro-credential.
-
I'm interested in other areas of engineering. Will you be offering other micro-credentials?
SIT regularly reviews its curriculum to ensure that it remains industry-relevant. We are looking to expand the list of micro-credentials.
-
What is the structure of micro-credentials?
Micro-credentials are largely taught asynchronously, which gives you the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you choose. While each micro-credential combines online and in-person delivery, the learning activities vary for each micro-credential.
-
What is the role of the success coach in the micro-credential?
Success coaches will work with you to develop a personalised learning plan. They will provide you with a wide range of resources and support services to help you navigate your learning journey.
-
Is Micro-credentials in Robotics and Automation module offered?
Yes, our CSM pathway offers Robotics and Automation as a Micro-credential leading to a Specialist Certificate upon completion, where you have the option of staking it towards an Infrastructure and Systems Engineering degree. This Micro-credential is currently being prepared, register your interest for it here to stay informed of updates on it.
Micro-credential Application
-
Am I guaranteed a place in the micro-credential upon registration?
Acceptance into the micro-credential will be determined by the Teaching Team and/or if you fulfil the assumed prior knowledge (if any) stated in each respective micro-credential’s webpage. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
Are there any interviews or additional assessments as part of the admission process?

-
Can I enrol in multiple micro-credentials at the same time?
It is not advisable to enrol in more than one micro-credential at any one time given the associated commitment and workload.
-
How will I be notified about the status of my micro-credential applications?
You will receive an email notification from SIT.
Degree Stacking and Application
-
Can I switch to the degree programme at any time?
You may apply for the degree programme during the annual admission cycle. You must pass at least one Engineering, Programme, or Programme Elective micro-credential with a minimum grade of 'C' and meet the degree's eligibility criteria.
Visit here for more information on the degree programme.
-
How does stacking to a degree work?
Our BEng (Hons) in Infrastructure and Systems Engineering (via the CSM Pathway) offers a flexible and modular structure comprising the following:
- Two Engineering micro-credentials (covering data analytics and operational excellence)
- Two Programme micro-credentials (covering the necessary fundamental knowledge and skills for engineering majors)
- Two Programme Elective micro-credentials (covering the specific knowledge and skills for a targeted industry)
- One Unrestricted Elective (choose either a micro-credential or a set of modules from any cluster for broadening learning)
Relevant micro-credentials that you obtain can be stacked progressively to complete this degree.In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your pathway to a degree will also take into account other prior learning such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, which will provide you with credit or exemptions.
Visit here for more information on the degree programme.
-
Do I need to take micro-credentials in a particular order?
Although we provide a recommended study pathway for the degree programme, you are not required to take micro-credentials in a prescribed order. SIT will state the recommended baseline competencies that an individual should have before embarking on a micro-credential.
