The Higher Certificate in Banking qualification is designed for students to develop an informed understanding of the core areas of banking, as well as to provide a detailed overview of the key concepts and principles related to the industry. This qualification offers students the opportunity to solve pre- existing problems within a familiar banking context, while developing their skills in handling novel obstacles that
may emerge in the future. As part of this qualification, students will apply standard procedures and learn new techniques that will aid in developing an understanding of the industry, sharpen their problem-solving skills and learn new strategies that will be applicable to all disciplines within the banking sector, including personal banking, business banking, banking operations and first- level management.
For candidates seeking entry without the prerequisite qualifications, or in cases where there is a lack of academic qualifications but an abundance of relevant knowledge and skills (acquired through work experience related to the field of study) Cornerstone Performance Solutions does implement a process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), where by application must demonstrate suitability for admission, which will be at the Registrar’ s discretion on a case-by-case basis, whereby knowledge and experiences will be formally assessed to determine if a prospective candidate qualifies for the minimum admission requirements of the programme. This allows for the development of an equitable education system that facilitates access to, mobility and progression.
Cornerstone Performance Solutions will also allow candidates access through mature age exemption, which give applicants provisional acceptance, granted that they pass the first module of the programme, after which the provisional status will be converted to full acceptance. In the event that a prospective student is unsuccessful in achieving the above, alternative options will be discussed with the candidate.
