Certificate Courses

A number of courses on important IT and management topics are offered as individual courses. VGU issues certificates for successful participation. Actually, many courses of the MBI program can be attended stand-alone as well.

Course directory

The following courses are available as individual courses in winter semester 2010/2011 (subject to change):

Courses start from October 11, 2010 on. Details are announced individually for each course. The number of participants per course is limited so that individual support can be guaranteed. A minimum number of participants per course is required on the other hand.

Cost per course is 600 Euro. Discount is 20% on the second, third, etc. course if you take more than one course.

Registration for certificate courses

Registration for a stand-alone VGU course requires that you submit the following documents:

• Registration form
• Short curriculum vitae (with photo)
• Statement of professional knowledge and experience. Tell us about your professional background, the reason why you plan to attend the course, and what you already know in and around the topic of the course.

Registration is processed in 3 steps:

1. Electronic registration: Fill out the application form, submit and print it.
2. Submission of documents: Sign the printed registration form and send it to the address specified in the form.
3. Admission and payment: Your registration will be confirmed and you will receive an invoice. Upon payment of the course fees you will get a user name and password to access the course when the semester starts.

Requirements for certificate courses

There is no formal requirement as to a university degree or similar if you just plan to attend a stand-alone VGU course. However, you should be aware that the course level will be one of higher education (i.e. university level). Likewise, sufficient command of English is a precondition even though you will not be asked to provide formal proof. Some courses might presuppose that you possess basic business administration knowledge.

Technical requirements and computer knowledge needed are basically the same as for MBI courses (see Requirements).
