The National Foundation Certificate is your guided first step — the core computer and digital-literacy skills every job assumes, a nationally recognized ZNQF Level 2 qualification, and exemption from the foundation module of almost every EdgePoint programme.
Plenty of capable, ambitious people get locked out of jobs and courses for one reason: they never got a solid grounding in computers. The National Foundation Certificate fixes that — and turns it into a launchpad.
Jobs and courses quietly assume you can already work a computer. If no one ever taught you properly, that assumption keeps the door shut.
Self-teaching the basics is discouraging and easy to abandon. What you need is a patient, guided programme built for absolute beginners.
The NFC gives you the foundation, a recognized qualification, and a head start that carries into almost every certificate and diploma we offer.
The NFC is the master key to the EdgePoint ladder.
Through recognition of prior learning, holding the National Foundation Certificate exempts you from the foundation module of nearly every EdgePoint certificate and diploma — so you start ahead, finish sooner, and often pay less on whatever you take next.
It's the lowest-risk, highest-leverage first move on your whole learning journey.
Built for complete beginners. If you're nervous around a computer, this is exactly, and only, where you should start.
Exemption from the foundation module of almost every EdgePoint programme — a real head start on everything you do next.
Not just a class — a nationally recognized ZNQF Level 2 qualification you can put on your CV straight away.
You'll go from unsure to capable — able to sit at any computer and get things done without fear.
Your lowest-cost entry point to the entire EdgePoint ladder — start small, then climb.
Do-with-us in a real classroom in Harare — patient trainers, in person, taking you from zero to certified.
The NFC opens doors on its own, and sets you up to keep climbing.
Meet the "must be computer literate" line on job ads — reception, retail, admin support and more.
Move straight into Digital Literacy (IC3), Microsoft Office or another EdgePoint programme — with the foundation module exempt.
Once the basics feel easy, everything after is less scary. The NFC turns "I can't" into "what's next?".
