Vocational education in Mauritius

Vocational education streams provide options for study and career development for school leavers as well as professionals.

The Pre-vocational Certificate demonstrates successful completion of a pre-vocational programme of study roughly equivalent to the Form III Certificate of the academic stream of formal education.

The Pre-vocational Certificate confers ability to progress onto further vocational study or to directly enter into employment.

Entry into post-secondary vocational qualifications is available to those who successfully complete the School Certificate or Higher School Certificate through the academic stream, as well as to those who completed relevant pre-requisite vocational qualifications.

Those who successfully complete the Higher National Diploma may progress to the Bachelor's degree, typically with two years of advanced standing.
