I think the course would make a fine certificate, but it's hardly degree material. How did you find the difficulty level compared to your B.Eng. degree?
I found most of the courses I did about on par with an honours level course. There are a bunch of technical courses available that you could never just jump into, and would need the undergrad courses or decent industry experience in that field before attempting them, but there are also a lot of courses at the M level that are purely for diversification, so a course on HR is basically a summary of industrial psych 1 and 2 for instance. It gives you the key concepts and takes a fair bit or reading and work to grasp. Similar for the law course. The 3 fin courses where MBA courses copied and pasted. Hence they where easier as the MBA is geared to any degreed entrant from fine arts to engineering. The lecturer who teaches those courses at the business school says he liked our engineering class the best as we actually know enough math for him to teach us the concepts properly with the math included. His normal MBA class is so full of people who are mathematically illiterate he can't really go into any kind of depth behind the financial ratio's etc.
Keep in mind any course that gets to masters level at Wits school of engineering is carefully monitored internally and externally so that they can maintain their accreditation. Wits engineering degrees are on the Washington accord so they get scrutinised periodically to see if they are sufficient for those criteria.
