WORD OF WELCOME
Introduction
The Creativity Centre strives to provide excellent training in creative fields to the public. Our presentations are
aimed at equipping participants with the appropriate practical skills and/or theoretical knowledge in order to
develop and hone their various creative interests.
The purpose of this prospectus is to inform potential participants about the various offerings that will be
presented by the Creativity Centre during 2017. Here you will find brief information about the different offerings:
what each entails, when and where the courses are presented, the relevant admission requirements, the
materials required, as well as the outcomes of each presentation.
Certificates
Participants who have completed a presentation of the Creativity Centre successfully will receive a certificate
that has been approved by the NWU Institutional Office for Academic Standards (ICAS) by the end of the
relevant presentation. In order to complete a short course or short learning programme successfully, and thus to
qualify for a certificate, the participant must comply with the minimum requirements of the particular presentation,
i.e. a minimum final average of 50% is attained for pracitcal projects AND a minimum of 70% of contact sessions
is attended (education students are relieved of the latter during their practical weeks). Workshops merely require
that a minimum of 70% of contact sessions is attended, which in turn leads to a certificate of attendance.
Please note that all offerings of the Creativity Centre are non-credit bearing, and as such no university credits
can be allocated to participants.
Year-end Exhibition & Artworks
The year-end exhibition of the Creativity Centre is scheduled for November 2017. The exact date, time and
place will be communicated closer to the time. Only the most accomplished work(s) of each participant will be
exhibited. A limited number of entry tickets will be available for this event.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHORT COURSE, A SHORT LEARNING PROGRAMME AND A
WORKSHOP?
The Creativity Centre has three types of offerings, i.e. short courses, short learning programmes and workshops.
Short courses at the Creativity Centre are after-hour presentations constructed to satisfy particular market
demands in various creative fields by providing quality education. Both these presentation formats require that
participants attain a minimum final average of 50% for pracitcal projects AND that participants attend a minimum
of 70% of contact sessions (education students are relieved of the latter during their practical weeks).
Workshops at the Creativity Centre consist of shorter presentations of two to six contact sessions and merely
require that a minimum of 70% of contact sessions is attended, which in turn leads to a certificate of attendance.
