The Higher Certificate is specifically designed to enable members of an organisation, whose career paths have not necessarily included gaining formal qualifications, to realise their true potential by developing them to understand their role in an organisational environment and preparing them to perform their job effectively within a modern organisational environment. 

The qualification also equips students with providing personal development opportunities for them while they meet their job requirements and emphasising the integration of systems, technology, innovation and people development concepts into each person’s individual performance within an organisation. The curriculum is coupled with the choice of elective modules in the curriculum that hone students’ skills in a particular area, which in this case is transformation management.
