Our short course programmes are courses that can be completed in 6 – 12 months and are designed to complement a working professionals lifestyle through flexible distance learning. Assessments are done through the submission of assignments, with no exams required.

Stacked with learning, unlike other short courses, we ensure adequate skills building and not just a superficial overview of subject matter. Our curricula are developed by industry experts and are internally quality assured and approved by our Academic Board. Our short courses are institutional programmes and are non-credit bearing.

Short courses are typically non-credit bearing programmes, affording students the opportunity to build their professional credentials without the higher cost and time associated with studying for a university degree or qualification.
