These skills pave the way for students to apply for and excel in their chosen degree programs.
The curriculum is meticulously designed to ensure that each learner acquires proficiency in study skills, mathematics, computing, society and culture, business, and accounting. Furthermore, it instills the adaptability needed to navigate rapid changes and embrace continuous learning.
