National Certificate in Computing (Level 3)

This certificate builds upon the skills and knowledge recognised in the National Certificate in Computing (Level 2) [Ref: 0010] or the National Certificate in Business Administration and Computing (Level 2) [Ref: 0008]. Computers are a necessary tool used by industries in a wide variety of ways. This qualification provides the flexibility for industry to specify knowledge and skills from their own environment, while still retaining a core of intermediate level computing competencies.

The requirements for the award of this certificate are such that training providers and learners can tailor programmes, which have a computing core as well as a combination of unit standards or achievement standards from other areas of the National Qualifications Framework, to meet the local or national needs of a wide range of industries.

This qualification aims to provide a qualification for initial employment in computing and enhance readiness for further study in computing and related fields. It can lead to the National Certificate in Computing (Level 4) [Ref: 0236] or the National Diploma in Computing (Level 5) with optional strands in Management, Operations, Support, Generic Computing, and Software Development [Ref: 0302].
