2.0 TRAINING PROGRAMMES |

STUDENTS' EXTENSION SERVICES
|
|
|
ACCERS gives support to private students in all courses that lead to the award of
any diploma or degree in accounting and taxation, be it at undergraduate or graduate
level. It is exciting to meet with lecturers who not only have the knowledge and
skill, but also have the interest to develop you academically and professionally.
|
|
1.2 |
INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
|
|
|
This is a special programme for Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
In order to increase the level of understanding of the subject matter taught, students
have the opportunity to meet with their lecturers online. Students can obtain further
clarifications, which the tension of excess workload may not permit the lecturer
to give optimum output in class.
This programme is unique, as institutions of higher learning can use the
opportunity to increase the level of output, enable students to pass their examinations
at first sittings, reduce the number of students who carry over courses, and assist
lecturers to perform efficiently. It is also financially and administratively rewarding
to the institutions.
The various areas of concentration also include:
- Teaching Methodology
- College Administration
- Programme/Curriculum Development
- Student Affairs
