What our students have to say

The Learning Environment is Enabling

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 to run a training outfit for schools and colleges. Today, I am a better writer and speaker, thanks to CIAPS.
