With this the learner will begin to design an individual programme plan, examining past experience to demonstrate learning, and decide on the focus of the elective modules. At the same time the learner will meet with the academic advisor to plan the learning programme, because learners will have the opportunity to exit at a certificate level, a diploma level or a degree level. The role of the Review Committee is to oversee the administration of the learning programme and to ensure the quality of learning and the assessment thereof. The learner will then implement the learning plan with the approval and continued support of the Review Committee up to graduation. Applicants must arrange for a personal interview before being admitted to the programme.
Entry also requires the involvement of the learner in the portfolio development workshop series.
