    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions about Higher Vocational Training programmes (CFGS)

    What is a Higher Vocational Training programme (CFGS)?

    A Higher Vocational Training programme (CFGS) is an official qualification designed to prepare you for entry into the labour market within a specific professional field. It combines academic study with practical training, enabling you to develop specialised, career-ready skills and enter the workplace with confidence from day one.

    Can I combine my job with a Higher Vocational Training programme (CFGS) at eserp?

    Yes. At eserp, our private Higher Vocational Training programmes (CFGS), delivered over two years, are designed so you can combine your studies with part-time work.

    What are the differences between a Higher Vocational Training programme (CFGS) and a bachelor’s degree (hons)?

    A Higher Vocational Training programme (CFGS) is completed in two years, whereas a bachelor’s degree (hons) typically requires at least four years of study. This makes the CFGS a faster route to obtaining a recognised higher education qualification.

    Higher vocational programmes are more practice-focused and aligned with immediate employment in specific professional roles. By contrast, a bachelor’s degree (hons) provides a broader and more theoretical academic foundation, which may lead to positions with greater responsibility and long-term career development.

    Both pathways are valid and offer strong employment prospects. The right choice depends on your goals, your circumstances and how you wish to shape your professional future.
