Our Foundation Studies: Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) courses are one year and will give you the skills and confidence you need for a particular profession, or academic subject or job. 

They are equivalent to 120 levels at Level 4 and are the same as the first year of a full-time degree. 

Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll be awarded a CertHE - a standalone qualification, which you can use to enhance your career or as a stepping stone towards studying an undergraduate degree.
