The purpose/objective of the course is the acquiring/obtaining of vocational qualifications
Explanation:
The course itself presumably existed before this particular participant took part in it - and presumably it will continue to exist afterwards? If that's the case, then imo, you need the Present Simple here because the subject of the sentence is a permanent, or at any rate, long-term fact.

In terms of the verb, it could, of course, also be 'conferring' as Magczer suggests.

The course was designed to confer vocational qualifications.

Explanation:
Myślę, że w podanym kontekście vocational będzie lepsze niż professional.

The course does not confer professional accreditation or licence to practise but is designed to improve the work of recent graduates and practising professionals.

The programme does not confer an official professional qualification. However, it provides a foundation for such a postgraduate qualification and for a career in teaching English internationally.
