Certificate of Higher Education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) is a higher education qualification in the United Kingdom. It is awarded after one year full-time study (or equivalent) at a university or other higher education institution. They certify that a student has achieved a minimum standard in 1st Year courses.
It is the academic equivalent of the more vocational Higher National Certificate, awarded following further education and training courses.
In Scotland a CertHE is worth 120 credit points at Level 7 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework. (As a guide an Honours Degree is worth 360 credit points.)
They are not externally regulated but are instead accredited by the universities themselves.
The Open University offers Certificates at this level.
