Single Modules
We’ve broken down the GradCertIA into individual modules to provide significant benefits for prospective students by offering flexibility and tailored learning options. This approach allows students to focus on specific areas of interest, enabling them to build expertise at their own pace without the commitment of completing the entire program.
Students who successfully complete each individual module may be eligible to apply to enroll into the GradCertIA and will only be required to successfully complete the Professional in Practice module to obtain an Australian Postgraduate Qualification.
