Abstract
A recent trend in entrepreneurship education has been the emergence of microcredentials. This note provides some cautionary thoughts on the current state of microcredentials in entrepreneurship and provides some recommendations for the future development of the field. One recommendation is the introduction of self-regulation. Credibility is also shown to be an important factor in developing a user base, but legitimacy and relevance are equally, if not more, important. As a result, any microcredential should only be developed after a careful strategic analysis of the stakeholders and a sound understanding of the underlying dynamics.
