Advanced Diploma in Public Accountability
Welcome to the Advanced Diploma in Public Accountability. This 120-credit NQF Level 7 programme is motivated by the purpose of widening access to higher education and qualifications for furthering career development in the public sector. Many public sector employees do not have qualifications at the required level to provide them with opportunities for career advancement into the public management ranks and this programme helps by vertically bridging the gap between a Diploma (NQF 6) and Public Management postgraduate studies (NQF 8). It also diagonally provides for access into Public Management studies from other qualifications.
