Short Courses

Short courses are designed to teach you as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is so that you can begin your career journey with the necessary skills as soon as possible.

Short courses are not accredited, but they give you experience as you learn. Most short courses have a range of levels that you can choose to study:

  • A short course certificate that takes four months to complete
  • A certificate course that takes eight months to complete
  • A comprehensive/expert certificate course that takes 12 months to complete

What Study Course Is Best?

This depends on what your talents and skills are, and what career you would like to go into at the end of your studies.

If you would like to go into the finance industry, a Financial Accounting or Financial Management course would be best for you. However, if you would like to open a salon, a beauty therapy course would suit you best.

If you already know how to give skincare treatments or nail care, you might be interested in doing a Business Management course, so you can open your own business.

Deciding which course is best for you is entirely your decision.
