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.
