The difference between the three is purely the number credits you must achieve to complete the qualification and therefore the number of units you will study. So for example, a Level 4 Award will consist of 2 or 3 units, the Certificate will require 4-5 units and the Diploma is usually 10 units. The greater the size of qualification, the greater the breadth of knowledge you will gain by undertaking your studies.
Each qualification has at least one mandatory unit that must be completed, but the remaining credits can be made up using a choice of optional units from the selection that we offer.
