Accreditation

Molecules Academy courses are short, practical, non-accredited courses with a Molecules certificate of competence/attendance. Where a course is aligned to a QCTO occupational skills programme or unit standard it is delivered with, or credit-mapped by, an accredited skills development provider partner; Molecules does not issue SETA/QCTO credits itself until accreditation is granted.
