Learning can best happen in an environment that promotes and encourages the efforts of learners and provides them with self-belief.

Learning does not happen in a sterile environment. The context in which people learn must be identified and aligned with the overall objectives. Therein, a greater emphasis needs to be placed on learner’s intuition and responsibility for their own learning. Thus, the Programme’s goals and objectives have also been aligned with the learner’s goals and objectives
