What is the Moodle Course Creator Certificate (MCCC)?

The MCCC is a way for you to demonstrate your skills in using Moodle as a teacher.

When you complete the certification you are given a code that lets you (or anyone else you give the code to) view your personalised certificate as a .pdf from the Moodle site.

In countries without a Moodle Partner, you can undertake the MCCC with HRDNZ (we manage the Certification scheme for Moodle, and provide support for candidates from countries with no Moodle Partner).

IMPORTANT: Please refer to the certification area of moodle.org for full details of MCCC before you discuss MCCC with us (Link to MCCC area on moodle.org)

There are two ways to achieve your MCCC with HRDNZ:

Combine MCCC with the MoodleBites online Moodle teacher training course

Construct your MCCC course project independently

From January 2009 Moodle Partners can map their training courses against MCCC. Where the course covers 80% or more of the MCCC, completion of this training course equates to the MCCC project. This leaves just the narratives and final exam to be completed. HRDNZ have aligned our MoodleBites online course (NZ$249) with MCCC, and you can now take these as a 'package'. Fee: NZ$450* A discount may be available for candidates from countries in South America and Africa. Candidates are assigned an MCCC mentor-assessor to help guide you. Start dates for MCCC with HRDNZ are now aligned with start dates for MoodleBites which are: 1st February 1st April 1st June 1st August 1st October

This is the original way of gaining MCCC. Please note that many candidates find it too time-consuming or otherwise difficult to complete the project this way. Fee: NZ$500

Who provides the certification?

The content of the certification is designed by the Moodle community at moodle.org where you can find discussions, documentation and preparation guides. MCCC is the only officially recognised, global, Moodle certification scheme. The certification process is only available through Moodle Partners.
