About Certificate Courses

Certification courses are typically specialised in a single skill set or field. The great thing about a certificate is they are generally considered entry-level which means minimal prerequisites! Start with a Certificate I and build your skills and understanding by progressing to a Certificate II, III or IV. Wanting to get into a trade, beauty, community services, hospitality or fitness? A certificate can get you qualified! Alternatively, a certificate is a great pathway for getting accepted into a degree program.
