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.

There are no written examinations for this course. As part of your learning, you are encouraged to complete short quizzes throughout each module, which help you build and test knowledge. You will be required to complete and submit one summative assessment at the end of each module. To meet the requirement for this course, you will have to pass the final summative assessment for each module, before you can get certified.

Once you have completed your course, you will get an iQ Academy Short Course Certificate. Your certificate demonstrates that you have acquired industry-relevant skills which can enhance your promotional and employment opportunities.
