Entry requirements
Advanced Certificates are open to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in the subject area. However, the content of the programmes requires students to possess:
- Sound educational background
- Good written English skills
Virtual solutions for your learning needs
Course content is delivered through our easy-to-use online learning platform and is supplemented by video, practical exercises and self assessment quizzes.
You will have instant access to a tutor for guidance and support and can join online forums to share experiences, ideas and study tips with other students.
By studying an Advanced Certificate your learning experience includes live virtual classrooms led by the same experienced tutors who deliver our face-to-face training. This flexible option means that you can still actively participate in group discussions and exercises and benefit from peer-to-peer learning but from the comfort of your office or home.
If you are unable to attend the live virtual classroom for any reason, you will receive a recording of the session to watch at a time convenient to you.
