Courses That Award: Special Purpose Award / Certificate
Special Purpose Awards/Certificates are for specific areas of learning that have a narrow scope. All special purpose awards comprise one or more components. This means that the credit value of this type of award will be higher than that of a minor award but significantly lower than a major award. An example of this type of award is the Special Purpose Awards in Training and Development 6S3372. This 30 credit special purpose award is a specific award in Training and Development and consists of two mandatory components/modules at level 6 each with a credit value of 15. These qualifications allow students to build up units of learning at their own pace. These awards are ideal for a student who wants to gain a qualification in a specific field.
