Professional Program Delivery to Suit Your Needs

Dr. King on CoachingThe Academy’s international post-secondary, non-degree programs can be delivered in three ways: onsite, online, or residential.

Onsite courses are delivered on-the-ground in our international partner’s country in a facility of their choosing. This delivery mode is advantageous as it encourages greater engagement and participation by the students. This mode has been successful over the years because the Academy has a large pool of instructors who specialize in sport within the specific discipline being taught onsite.

Online delivery mode consists of courses that are post-secondary, non-degree programs delivered online through our Center for Professional Studies and Continuing Education (CPSCE). Online programs do not have degree program requirements such as a TOEFL score although the student selected to participate in the program will need to be able to communicate in English and have English reading and writing skills.

Residential courses require students to come to the United States of America to complete specialized residential courses. These are normally short-term programs with small groups of students. It should be noted that this requires visas and all other appropriate measures for international travel.

Stay Up-to-Date in Your Field

The post-secondary, non-degree programs delivered through the Center for Professional Studies and Continuing Education carry academic credit measured in Continuing Education Units (CEUs). CEUs are awarded by many education and training providers to signify successful completion of programs and courses intended to improve the knowledge and skills of working professionals. The typical CEU represents ten (10) contact or clock hours of experience in a structured continuing education experience (class, seminar, workshop, conference, etc.) that is supervised by a qualified continuing education provider. This means that a course worth 4 CEUs represents 40 contact or clock hours for student participants.

Professionals can use CEUs to improve their skills and stay current in their discipline. Certain professions require that practitioners earn a specific number of CEUs per year to ensure they are up-to-date with current practices in their field. CEUs may be useful for obtaining or maintaining certifications. In addition, CEUs have often been used for job promotions and salary increases, depending on their employer’s requirements.
