Programme Design

The Certificate Course in Business Management for Defence Officers is spread over six terms. Each Term has 4 courses. During the 24 weeks of the programme, the participant will receive academic inputs in two parts, namely, the Core courses and the Domain courses. Distinct objectives will be served by each course. Largely, the core courses will be in the first four terms and the domain courses would be in the fifth & sixth term. The input of the core courses is essential for all managers.

The aim of the core courses is to provide participants with the fundamental knowledge, skills and techniques, contextual understanding, and overall perspective, necessary for general management. Compulsory coursework will provide broad training to participants that will help them in career flexibility and mobility. It will also help them move towards general management positions where the challenges and the contributions may be the greatest.

The mixture of core and domain courses will help the participants develop an in-depth understanding of the interrelationships crucial to successful business management. This will enable them to be more effective in their jobs while being sensitive to the issue and challenges confronting people in the other parts of the organisation.
