This Higher Certificate programme is designed to equip learners with a strong foundation in operations, quality, and lean management practices that drive organisational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Delivered over two semesters, the programme combines theoretical principles with practical application, making it ideal for individuals looking to upskill or transition into roles within manufacturing, supply chain, or quality-focused industries.
Semester 1 introduces key tools and frameworks for continuous improvement. Learners explore Problem Solving Tools and Techniques, gaining hands-on experience in identifying root causes and implementing sustainable solutions. Applied Practice 2: Organisational Alignment focuses on aligning individual and departmental objectives with broader organisational goals.
