Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ: Customer Service Leadership and Management

Professional Certificates are designed to develop specific knowledge and skills within a particular field and are generally shorter in duration. Many are credit-bearing, SAQA-aligned, and/or CPD-endorsed, providing recognised professional development opportunities.

However, unlike Full Qualifications, Professional Certificates do not typically provide progression to a higher NQF-level qualification. Full Qualifications are comprehensive programmes registered on the National Qualifications Framework and are designed to support formal academic progression to higher NQF levels.

What People Say About Our Courses

This is my first time writing a review here and it's all because I want to share my experience and recommend IBM to anyone looking for an online course. I was very skeptical at first but I am glad I took a leap of faith and registered. I had a great experience with the team and the course in general.
