Decades of its existence, been to provide the opportunity for
both Private and Public Sector Organisations to enhance their
Micro and Macro Organisational Development Effort, through the
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of their employees,

productivity and career prospects. A Postgraduate-Only
Institution, we respond to the desire of Engineers, HR
Professionals, Metrologists, Accountants and Financial
Specialists, Corporate Executives, Divisional and Departmental
Managers, Team and Project Leaders, Legal and Administrative
Support Personnel, among others, to gain Postgraduate
Qualifications, without losing track of their occupational
commitment.
To this end, we provide over 60 Specialist Postgraduate Diploma
Programmes, with more than 800 Diploma – Postgraduate – Short
Courses, which accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. The 2
Delivery Modes, for its Postgraduate Certificate and
Postgraduate Diploma:
Full-Time - 6 weeks for Postgraduate Certificate; and months for
Postgraduate Diploma, both based on tuition of 6 hours of direct
lecturer contact, 5 days per week (= 30 Credit-Hours);
Video-Enhanced Online - 10 weeks for Postgraduate Certificate,
and {20-weeks for Postgraduate Diploma. This duration is based
on 3 hours per day, 6 days per week.
These measures seek to, simultaneously, facilitate effective
Career Advancement and Organisational Effectiveness.

endowed us with a cadre of highly committed and
quality-conscious Academic and Administrative Staff, enabling us
to maintain our robust quality standard, dispensing a superb
level of care and support, to our culturally diverse delegates
and students.
