Programme Delivery

The course is structured over approximately 30 to 40 days a year, mainly on the basis of a three-day block per month.

Assessments are via work based assignments and examination and require participants to apply their learning to the workplace with the student being asked to collect evidence to demonstrate their achievement.

After completion of the course, students have the opportunity to directly enter into the three semester top-up BA (Hons) in Business Studies. The part-time Bachelor programme is provided on a similar basis of attendance and distance learning, a combination known as ‘blended learning’ which includes support via the ECBM student internet platform.
