Applied knowledge has an important place in our programs since the competencies can directly relate to real-life, work-applicable situations. Our assessments have been designed so that you can show us what you know and move on to the things that you don’t.
Acquire skills that can be applied to your profession now.Our students say that their learning experiences are immediately relevant in their day jobs. That’s because we’ve developed our programs with the help of industry and academic experts and include regular assessments along the way that give students the chance to double-check their understanding and speed their progress.
