Will a 1 year, 15 unit post bachelor's certificate be credited by WES?

I'm currently an undergraduate student graduating early next year. I plan to get a paid job around June so I can get that 1 year minimum work experience for Express Entry as fast as possible, and perhaps even reaching two or three years as I wait for an ITA. While I rack up that work experience, I plan to take a 15 unit, 1 year post-bachelors degree at an open university in my country so I can boost my CRS score. I am not sure whether to pursue this certificate though, as I am not sure if it will be credited by WES for me to be qualified for the "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be a program of three or more years."

My bachelor's degree is in Computer Science, a four year program. So I am sure it will be credited by WES. The post bachelor's certificate I am planing to pursue is a Graduate Certificate in ASEAN studies. As I said it is a 15 unit, 1 year course. I am not sure if it will qualify as a second educational attainment by WES, and I maybe i'm just gonna waste my time. The open university that offers it is in the WES database, and so is the ASEAN studies program. My question is, even though it's a one year program, is 15 units of post bachelor's acceptable by WES?

In my opinion, most likely WES will give this a One semester equivalent. A full course load would be about 5 courses i.e 15 credits per 4 month semester. You would want to choose atleast 2 semester full load.

I see. Do you think I would still qualify for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be a program of three or more years."? Post bachelor's certificates are not that common in my country, and this is the only one I found that I'm actually interested in.

From what I know, based on reading other people's comments over the years, this may not be used for 2 or more cert.

Yeah, I guess that's true. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to find a job offer once I get my work experience.
