Excellent school managers have very clear strategies and ability to manage parents, staff and children in the schools they head.
They also effectively deal with change and uncertainty.
This International Postgraduate Certificate in School Management is a highly interactive, hands-on, innovative and dynamic programme which focuses on the theoretical principles and strategies of school management as well as its practical applications. Learners will be exposed to case studies of best and bad practices and will identify, analyse, and use strategies, tools and techniques to deal with the responsibilities and challenges facing school leaders. Learners will be able to put theory into action.
Graduates from the course will leave CIAPS with a very clear understanding of school management practices and will be able to adjust when things do not go as planned. They will be able to recognise good leaders and will be able to incorporate leadership skills in their school management practices.

My personal experience at CIAPS has been an amazing one; I would love to relive it again and again. During my training programme that lasted for a few months, I acquired relevant knowledge, skills and attitude covering a number of competency areas including tutoring, organizing, communication and management.
The learning environment is an enabling and serene one that provides a multimedia platform for assimilating information. I also received a lot of career guidance which has enabled me run a training outfit for schools and colleges. Today, I am a better writer and speaker, thanks to CIAPS.
