Online only
You produce a memo and its paired version, and you revise for a reader who will act on it. This is workplace writing, not a literature degree. African Future University teaches this award fully online. The 18 credit hours on this page are the sum of the modules listed in the curriculum, so the transcript and the prospectus describe the same load. PG Certificate in French and English Professional Writing is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 9 months, and the credit total is 18. Students move from Decision Memo through Decision Memo; The Pair; Revision for Action, and finish on Revision for Action. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Write a decision memo Produce the paired language version Revise for action Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Assessment is coursework on each taught module plus the final project named in the curriculum. Results are recorded as credit hours against each module. Fees are the figures published by African Future University for this award; this page does not add a separate tuition claim.

| FEW101 | Decision Memo Decision Memo (FEW101) is a 6-credit course on PG Certificate in French and English Professional Writing, with 60 notional learning hours. By the end, students can apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result, using Decision Memo as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
