    Roy,

    I think the Nano-Degree concept or the MicroMasters, MasterTrak certificates all appear to be rebranded multi-course certificates, graduate certificates, postgraduate certificates etc.

    Some are academic credit eligible with up to 25% of a masters degree at participating university, or 9  credits out of 36 credits in the typical US Masters degree program.

    In recent years there is a demand for specialized credentials that can lead to employment.

    in the US I heard this term a few years ago from a company called UDACITY. They formed partnerships with Google, Amazon, IBM etc

    There is a demand for 100% online credential with real-world projects that are Industry-designed, reviewed by experts and good for the portfolio.

    For some people, it's a career jumpstart or switches in career or aid etc.
