Then SAIBT’s Certificate IV in University Foundation Studies is the first step on your pathway to university.The Certificate IV is a university foundation program, equivalent to year 12, which provides the skills and discipline knowledge for students to successfully meet the challenges of undergraduate studies.  

Fast track your studies

The Certificate IV consists of eight courses in total, however if you have completed year 12, or the equivalent work experience, it may be possible for you to fast track your studies.
