The certificate is classified as an introductory, foundation or skills based qualification which is used to give a student a general understanding of a specific discipline, but introduce key concepts. The certificate prepairs a student for work or further study, but most likely the former.
The National Certificate (NCert) (Irish: Teastais Náisiúnta) is a two-year broadly based higher education qualification in a technology discipline offered by an Institute of Technology or a HETAC designated institution in Ireland.
The certificate will generally exempt a student from the first year of a four-year university Bachelor's degree or the first two years of an ab initio National Diploma in Ireland.
The certificates are often in business, engineering and science, with most entrants being school leavers and presenting a Leaving Certificate or similar.
