Abstract: Abstract Micro-credentials are alternative approaches to career and professional development that recognise individual skills and accomplishments. Besides enhancing skills, managing career pathways, and adding practicality to academic content, micro-credentials also provide opportunities to enhance knowledge. A micro-credential is also a cost-effective professional development strategy since it minimises training costs and time for employees. Other than that, micro-credentials enable students, educators, and communities to pursue lifelong learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptance of micro-credentials by students participating in the Graduate Executive Marketer For SSPN-i programme. Using an online platform, data were collected from 61 students, and only 57 responses were received and analysed. There were positive direct statistically significant relationships between performance expectancy, social influence, perceived enjoyment, self-efficacy, and micro-credentials learning acceptance among the students. The micro-credentials learning method was more likely to be accepted positively by students who believed that the micro-credentials were useful. This would, in turn, result in high self-efficacy and excellent learning performance.
