The
Global Impact Certificate curriculum has been specifically framed and designed
to meet the entrance standards of universities in the major English-speaking
countries. It has been prepared by expert and highly qualified academics in
consultation with the internationally recognised universities. The curriculum
equips students with the skills and knowledge that universities seek in their
candidates for entry and success at university.
The major focus of the curriculum is on developing English language proficiency
and its application to the key disciplines of Mathematics, Information
Technology, Business and/or Science. The emphasis in the curriculum is on
student-centred learning and skill acquisition.
The GIC is made up of three levels, each lasting 12 weeks. The total GIC
qualification will usually take 36 weeks to complete.
