An Honours year typically involves a mixture of course work and a research project.

Certificate 

Certificates usually take one semester to complete full-time and can be studied part-time over one or two years. A Certificate is a qualification that gives extra skills in a specific industry or profession. Many certificates only require completion of Year 10 studies however, some certificates require more advanced prior studies.

Diploma 

A Diploma is usually more intensive than a Certificate but still provides skills and knowledge directly relevant to workplace activities. Diplomas generally require completion of Year 12.
