Course Delivery

At DAS Academy, most of our courses are delivered through a blended learning approach that combines the best of both worlds—in-person classroom sessions and online live learning. Classroom sessions provide opportunities for rich interaction, collaboration, and hands-on engagement, while online live learning offers flexibility and convenience, allowing learners to learn anywhere.

Method of Assessment

There is only one assessment for this module – 25 Questions MCQ paper, based on the topics covered in the course. Participants are required to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the theories learnt in the course. There may be some structured MCQ questions based on a case study or scenario.
