Every FOSH trade program includes the business skills to go independent, not just the technical skills.
Tools, manuals, diagnostic systems, and technical terminology are often in English — FOSH teaches the English you actually need for the job, while instruction stays accessible in Kreyòl and French.
FOSH issues its own FOSH Skills Certificate or FOSH Certificate of Completion when you finish a trade pathway. These are not government-accredited or nationally recognized credentials unless FOSH has an official partnership that says so — we'll always be upfront about which is which as accredited partnerships are added.
