Course Overview
The extended diploma is run as a training vehicle for teaching core business concepts and areas to people with practical experience without extensive academic background. Our students are mainly full time employed with extensive practical experience and the course is designed to be studied at the student’s own pace. The extended diploma is fully recognised and can be studied as a standalone qualification, accredited by Pearson. However, most of our students continue with their MBA journey at one of our partnering universities upon successful completion of the extended diploma. This programme is suited to those who are looking to change their career pathway, progress within the corporate ladder or set up their own business to name a few examples. The programme is delivered with common sense and subject matter relevance, and is assessed using essays and presentations (we do not have any exam-based assessments).
