Courses that will prepare you for a specific career or for entry into the workplace
These are the courses that aim to equip students with job-related, marketable skills that will enable them to take up an occupation or vocation once they leave college. Examples of these courses include FET (Further Education and Training) Courses, National Certificates and some Diploma courses.
Courses that will teach you a new skill or upgrade your current skills
These courses usually have a fairly narrow focus, and have specific outcomes. They sometimes take the form of short courses. Examples could include Management Short Courses, a course in a Microsoft software application, a Payroll Administration Course, or a First Aid Course.
Courses that lead to a professional qualification
This type of course usually prepares students for examinations that are set by a professional body. Examples include ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) courses, CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) courses, courses for students preparing for the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential, and courses for students who want to become Chartered Secretaries.
Courses that will help you to change from one career to another
These courses can either be similar to the first category of courses mentioned, or they can be courses that add to your existing experience and qualifications. Examples include Management courses, Event Management courses, Project Management courses and courses leading to professional qualifications as discussed above.
Courses for personal enrichment or for enjoyment
Any course can be done for personal enrichment or enjoyment. However, people often choose to do shorter, less intense courses for this purpose. Non-credit bearing courses are also ideal for this purpose. Examples of courses done for enjoyment or personal enrichment include courses in photography or writing. However, this does not mean that these courses cannot be done for other purposes as well.
