Certificate Courses

Certificate courses are the perfect stepping stone for those with no or few formal qualifications who want to progress to higher levels of study.

Certificate courses do not lead to a nationally recognised group award but do contain nationally recognised subject/unit qualifications. They are a cluster of units, mainly at SCQF Level 4, that will give you an appropriate set of skills and knowledge to support you on to the next level of your education or chosen career path.

To make it as easy as possible for you to progress to higher level courses at the College, we use an Internal Learner Reference (ILR) system.

Your ILR is an open and transparent tool that helps promote positive behaviour and employability skills, and also forms the foundation for discussions about progression to further courses.

To support your progression to a higher level college course you should meet the course entry requirements and have a positive ILR.

You can view your ILR at any time through your Student Portal.
