Courses by Qualification Type - Professional Qualification

A professional qualification is usually vocational in nature and can be the entry route to a profession (or a path to career advancement within a specified job). Usually, these training programmes are delivered by a professional body. It is this organisation who decides the curriculum, sets the exam, and regulates the industry standards of training required work in this field. A professional qualification will be linked to a certain industry and is generally designed to help learners improve and develop applicable skills for their desired career path. This qualification might be undertaken directly after completing third level education or can be designed for professionals who are already a number of years working in the industry.
