The core of rural revitalization lies in talent revitalization, and the improvement of farmers’ quality and capability development constitutes a crucial underpinning for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. At present, problems such as the poor connection between farmers’ education and training and academic education, as well as the lack of effective certification for learning achievements, have restricted the quality of rural talent cultivation. As the undertaking institution of Guangdong’s Lifelong Education Credit Bank, Guangdong Open University has explored and constructed a farmers’ credit bank system based on the province’s unified credit recognition and conversion system. Taking the practice of the Credit Bank of Guangdong Open University as a case study, this paper focuses on the certification standards, conversion paths and service mechanisms of farmers’ non-academic education and informal learning achievements. It aims to provide practical references for breaking down educational barriers, building a lifelong learning "overpass" for farmers, and facilitating the effective implementation of the rural talent revitalization strategy.
