What our students have to say

Fascinating & Worthwhile

I don't have all the words to quantify or qualify my experience at CIAPS. It was really fascinating and worthwhile listening to lectures from seasoned and world-class teachers and facilitators like Prof Kila, Mr Rotimi, an erudite scholar and lecturer and a host of others. Thanks for making me understand the meaning of the project method of teaching and applying the Z to A approach. Cheers
