The certificate covers the following courses (covering the requirements of both the public and private sectors):

Corporate Law
Financial Accounting III
Management Accounting
Strategic Management

There is a great need for trained and skilled managers and administrators in the public and private sectors in South Africa – and this is especially important given the need for people qualified in governance to develop and guide our young democracy appropriately.

Successful learners will be able to undertake leadership roles with confidence, be able to motivate their staff, understand and advise on legal and accounting matters, and also contribute to corporate strategic planning.Should there be no opportunities for advancement in their present career positions successful learners will be highly marketable and more mobile in the job market. By applying the knowledge and skills acquired, they will be able to become successful managers and administrators of high performing departments or teams. These skills could also be applied to work within the NGO sector.
