What our students have to say

My learning experience at CIAPS was great and eye opening.

Though all my classes were held virtually, the sessions were engaging and interactive. Learning was similarly interesting. I understudied a banking and Finance certificate course. Through the well-planned program, I was exposed to some topics like laws and regulations in finance, customer relations etc. Through these topics (and professional advice from my tutor) I have seen myself soaring in my career as a banker. Some skills I have built on through the course are managerial and customer service related. These have been instrumental to some successes I have recorded in my career. One of the topics is emotional intelligence, a quality a customer relations officer should possess to be able to understand and manage his or her emotions and those of others and handle interpersonal relationships empathetically. This has helped me a lot. To me, CIAPS is a great place to acquire knowledge, develop oneself and enhance one’s career and I won’t hesitate to recommend it to people poised in gaining knowledge.
