Components are the building blocks that form the structure of a Programme. They can be courses, modules, assessments, Unit Standards and subjects that are organised to deliver specific learning outcomes.
A Programme may contain one or multiple components. Each component contributes to the overall educational pathway by focusing on particular competencies or knowledge areas that learners must master, and collectively they create a coherent educational experience that leads to programme completion and certification.
