DO YOU WANT A CAREER IN SCIENCES...?
 It's often wise to take it one step at a time.
- This way you can familiarize yourself with the industry; see if you are suited to the industry.
- Experience has taught us that students who take on achievable studies are most likely to complete them and move on to further and higher qualifications (ie. Often you are more likely to eventually achieve a diploma if you start with a certificate; then step up after completing that first course).
Our Certificate in Applied Science may be ideal for you! It gives you an excellent foundation in applied science with many options to select specialisation (plant, animal, environmental, health) and very relevant subjects in science today. It is also an excellent tool for people wishing to work or working in science related jobs without formal qualifications, to improve employability and move up the ladder in your field.
