Systematic alternation between short theory sessions and practical work, with most of the time spent on practice
Progression from simple to complex: each module builds on what was learnt in the previous one
Realistic role-plays drawn from Cameroonian business cases
Considered use of generative AI as a working tool, in line with the common core
Regular formative assessments and a final integrative project drawing on all four modules
Assessment
How you are assessed.
Formative assessment at the end of each module (graded role-play and practical exercises)
Practical work assessed against competency sheets
Final integrative project, presented and defended before the trainer
