  • 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

  • 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
