Assessment Methodology

All courses conducted by EdTech will begin with a Pre-evaluation and end with a Post-evaluation. The instructor will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the participants according to the feedback given by the participants. This will help to recognize the benefits and the level of knowledge gained by participants through the course.

Training Methodology

Facilitated by a highly qualified specialist, who has extensive knowledge and experience; this program will be conducted using extensively interactive methods, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the program material to real-life work situations in order to stimulate group discussions and improve the efficiency of the subject coverage. Percentages of the total course hour classification are:

  • 40% Theoretical lectures, Concepts, and Approach
  • 20% Motivation to develop individual skills and Techniques
  • 20% Case Studies and Practical Exercises
  • 20% Topic General Discussions and interaction​

Course Manual

Participants will be provided with comprehensive presentation material as a reference manual. This presentation material is a compilation of core valuable information, references, presentation methods, and inspiring reading which will be used as a part of the material guide.

Course Certificate
