Answer

A Higher Certificate is a NQF level 5 and is usually obtainable in one year. The qualification is focused on providing students with the skills required in order to perform in their chosen field of study.

After you have obtained a Higher Certificate you will be able to enrol for an even higher qualification, such as an advanced certificate or diploma course, in the same or related field of study.

Higher Certificate is an undergraduate academic qualification that is typically completed after the completion of a Grade 12 certificate or equivalent qualification. It is a lower level qualification than a Diploma or Bachelor's degree and is designed to provide learners with foundational knowledge and skills in a particular field.

Higher Certificate programmes in South Africa are typically completed over a period of one year of full-time study.

Higher Certificate programmes typically include a combination of theoretical coursework and practical training, with a focus on developing the skills and knowledge needed for entry-level positions in a particular field.
