IGS COLLEGE LAUNCHES PART-TIME COURSES (BB)

By Huraizah Ahmad

International Graduate Studies College (IGS) Brunei Darussalam on Monday launched its part-time courses in Business Management and Information.

Hj Shahri bin Hj Awg Besar, Principal and CEO of IGS, made the announcement of the new courses during a simple ceremony at the college in Kompleks Setia Kenangan, Kiulap.

Also present at the event were part-time students and lecturers of the college.

During Hj Shahri's address, he explained the main features of the programmes, including Pre-National Diploma (PND), National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) in Computer Studies and Business & Finance.

All these courses are offered in collaboration with the Brunei Darussalam Technical and Vocational Education Council (BDTVEC), Ministry of Education and are accredited by the Brunei Darussalam National Accreditation Council (BDNAC).

The part-time courses also included the internationally recognised London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Diploma in Accounting, Diploma in Marketing and Private Secretary's Diploma.

He further added that the part-time courses are specially designed for working adults who could not fulfill their dream of higher education.

This is an opportunity for them to continue their studies while working.

Registration for the part-time courses will continue until the first week of October.

KIGS is the first private college in Brunei Darussalam that offers BDTVEC programmes in Business and Computer Studies. Its first batch of National Diploma (ND) students graduated in May this year. KIGS graduates have received an enormous response from the job market and most graduates have been offered jobs in various sectors.

Some of them have been accepted by Institute Teknology Brunei (ITB) in its Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes.
