Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, it takes 21 days to a month for a student to complete a module.  We teach a single module for the entire month so that you have maximum focus on that particular module. However, you have an option to fast track your studies. Please feel free to speak with one of our Admissions Officer.

It generally takes a minimum of 12 months to complete an MBA program. For various accredited Diploma programs that we offer from UK and Swiss Awarding bodies, you have an option to FAST TRACK your studies and complete the Course/Program. 

Students are allowed to take a one-month break during the entire cycle of the program. An email to academic and support office is a must, informing them about your leave and valid reason for the same.  This notification helps the office to map your modules accordingly. If the student takes a break for more than one month/module, the re-registration fee will be applicable.

We will be more than happy to facilitate the process. However, the entire expenses involved are taken care of by the student.
