There are many reasons why people opt for shorter, more vocational courses, including the affordability and minimal entry requirements these courses present to simply not wanting or being able to commit to multiple years of study. Regardless of the reason, completing the right certificate can open doors to further study opportunities and gainful employment within the industry.
