Explain What is a post-basic certificate?
A Post Basic Certificate is an NQF Level 4 qualification awarded to pharmacist assistants whose training is approved by the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC). This qualification is also designed for healthcare professionals, such as nurses, who have a basic qualification and wish to specialize in a specific area of practice.
Typically, Post Basic Certificate programs in South Africa are completed over one year of full-time study.
They are recognized by relevant professional bodies and are often essential for professional registration or practice in a specialized field.
For professionals, this certificate not only serves as proof of their specialized knowledge and skills but also enhances their career prospects and earning potential.
