Exciting changes ahead: Introducing Moodle Qualifications!

November 26, 2024 By Anna Krassa

The Moodle journey is about to get even better! We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming rebranding of Moodle Certifications to Moodle Qualifications. This fresh new approach, coming in December, not only gives a clearer, globally recognised title, but also opens the door to more opportunities for professionals using Moodle.

What’s changing?

As part of this transformation, the widely respected Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) will now be called the Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ). And here’s the exciting part: from 2025, we’re launching the all-new Moodle Administrator Qualification (MAQ)! Whether you’re an educator or an administrator, these qualifications will be the essential mark of Moodle expertise that you’ll want to display.

Why Moodle Qualifications?

  1. Global recognition: Your qualification will carry weight worldwide. Stand out in your field and show that your skills meet international standards.
  2. Career advancement: The MEQ and MAQ are designed to boost your career, equipping you with proven digital competence.
  3. High-impact learning: By completing the Qualifications, you’ll validate advanced competencies that will help you deliver or manage high-quality learning within your Moodle environments.

Who benefits from MEQ?

The Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ) is a must-have for experienced educators who want to level up their Moodle expertise. Aligned with the European Framework for Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu), the MEQ offers six qualification courses designed to improve your teaching practice and help you better engage your learners.

But the MEQ isn’t just for teachers – it’s for learning and development professionals, too. It’s perfect for anyone with experience using Moodle who wants to show their capability in designing and delivering impactful online learning experiences.

Already an MEC holder?

Nothing to worry about. Your certificate is still valid; no action needed! 

However, if you wish to request an MEQ Certificate, you can contact us at qualifications@moodle.com.

What about the new MAQ?

Launching in 2025, the Moodle Administrator Qualification (MAQ) is designed for experienced Moodle administrators. If you’re responsible for managing and maintaining Moodle installations, this qualification will validate your advanced skills and let you reflect upon how to optimise Moodle environments for success.
