However, learners belonging to category-1 will not require such certification as they were already having NSQF level 4 certificates in same industry sector / job role required for specified skill credits.

Students may exit after six months with a Certificate (NSQF Level 4) or may continue for diploma or advanced diploma or B.Voc degree level course(s).
