What Is a Certificate?

A Certificate is a formal, accredited qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), usually at NQF Level 5 or 6 depending on the course. It’s designed to provide targeted, practical skills that prepare students for a specific career path, often within one year of study.

They’re a smart way to break into a career or strengthen your position within an industry.
