Every Diploma Course comes with its own benefits. The best course to study is one that interests you and suits your natural skills. 

Diploma courses in Finances or Management are especially good courses as the skills you will learn can be used in various other work environments. These skills are always necessary in businesses and so you will be more likely to find a job.

Some of the Diploma courses you can choose from are:

• Educare: NATED N6 National Diploma
• Human Resource Management: NATED N6 National Diploma

Diploma Courses provide a tertiary qualification. These courses can be studied at a college, a university of technology (formerly known as technikons), or through distance learning.

They equip you with technical and practical skills that will benefit you in potential work environments.

These courses are divided into 36 months of theoretical learning and 18 months of practical work experience. This means that they take a total of 54 months to complete.

Depending on other learning institutions and whether they provide full-time or part-time studying, the time periods may vary.

Diploma courses provide students with both technical and practical learning skills. This is good as most students pursuing a degree will not be as work-ready by the time they receive their qualification

Diplomas are also in high demand within businesses as opposed to degrees since people with a diploma already have more practical experience.

An N4, N5, and N6 course takes 12 months each to complete. This means that you will spend 36 months in total on receiving your N6 qualification.

With an additional 18 months of practical work, you will get your diploma. 

In short, it takes around 54 months to complete your Diploma course.

There is no correlation between university application requirements and Diploma courses. Universities do not accept Diplomas for admissions or applications.

The minimum requirement for university applications is having a Bachelor’s Degree Matric Pass. Since there are many university applicants, this still does not ensure acceptance. The higher your marks are, the more likely you are to get accepted. There are also many other entry requirements that are specific to each university course, so you will need to make sure you meet these as well.

Other requirements could include having completed specific subject sets, extra documentation, practical experience, or high marks in stated subjects.

Of course you can! A Diploma in a specific field is a very valuable qualification. It shows employers that you are serious about your field since you have qualifications in the theoretical and practical aspects of it.
