VQA advises that:

• These activities are classified as workshops or short-term training programmes.
• Participants receive a Certificate of Participation upon completion.
• The certificates issued are not accredited by VQA.

VQA encourages the public, employers, and stakeholders to verify the accreditation status of any training programme or qualification before enrolment or recognition.
