What certificate do I receive?+
You receive an official certificate issued by the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava. It documents a specific set of knowledge, skills and competences you have gained — not just attendance, but a demonstrable learning outcome.
What is the certificate worth on the job market?+
It is issued by an accredited public university and names the specific competences you can demonstrate. You can share it with employers and educational institutions at home and abroad — for example on LinkedIn or in your CV.
Does the certificate replace a university degree?+
No. The certificate does not replace a degree — it complements it wherever you need to demonstrate a specific, up-to-date competence that traditional study did not cover, or that new legislation has introduced. It is the fastest way to prove you can do something the market needs right now.
Do I need a university degree to enrol?+
Completed secondary education is enough for this programme. The exact entry requirements are listed on the course detail page.
What does the teaching look like and how much time does it take?+
This course is designed so that a working professional can manage it — the whole programme runs entirely online, with live teaching every second Friday, practical exercises and independent preparation. The full format and workload are stated on the course detail page.
How do I actually obtain the certificate?+
The certificate requires active participation in the teaching and verification of knowledge — typically a final project, or a written or oral examination. The exact conditions are set by the programme guarantor and listed in the course detail.
Can my employer pay for the course?+
Yes, most participants take this route. We issue a proforma invoice as well as a final tax document made out to your company.
This course can also be used for corporate staff development. If you are interested in a dedicated run for your team, get in touch and we will prepare an offer.
Do I have to buy the whole course?+
