Classification of programs and credentials

• 5 - Post career, technical or professional training program

5.1 - Post career, technical or professional training program short credential

This category includes short credentials for postsecondary skills programs that usually lead to a specific career path and into the labour market and that requires a certificate or a diploma from a career, technical or professional training program or another postsecondary credential for admission. These are formal qualifications granted upon successful completion of programs that are shorter than programs where a certificate or diploma is the formal qualification awarded.
