Teaching Approach

• By considering enthusiastic executives as our main audience, the courses are designed in such a way that face-to-face learning is done in 5 full days which include active learning, lab activities, discussion and case studies. Whilst the assignments need to be completed in the next 3 weeks for full-time or 6 weeks for part-time students. The ongoing assessment contributes to 60%-70% of the overall marks and the remainder is from the final examination.
