How CIEL designs certifications

CIEL's approach to creating and delivering its certifications is guided by these principles.

01

Practice-oriented learning should be based on knowledge needed for defined roles.

02

Technical and complex content can be structured and simplified to enable self-learning.

03

The course must be interspersed with regular interactions through the study plan to reinforce concepts.

04

To enable flexible pace of learning, both self-study and classrooms are needed.

05

The assimilation of the content must be assessed with a robust and fair examination.
