Certificate of Proficiency

A Certificate of Proficiency (COP) allows you to experience a module within a course, without having to commit to the full qualification. It is suitable for those who want to study something that interests them. It is also a good option for those who want to test whether that subject or qualification may be something they wish to pursue more of in the future.

This is a great opportunity if you are looking to:

  • Study short-term,
  • experience a new field of study,
  • advance your current knowledge,
  • meet a programme entry requirement, or 
  • gain knowledge in a subject you’re interested in.

Explore the subject areas available at Wintec below, and if you are interested in studying towards a COP, please contact the specific centre for more information.

Additionally, if you decide to progress to a full course, you can reassign the points from your COP to a qualification.
