The Centre focuses its attention on the design, administration, teaching and management of all non degree/diploma programmes run by the University. These consist of short duration certificate programmes, training workshops and seminars organized within and outside the University campus. The unit also provides tailored made programmes for Institutions upon request. The principal function of the Cen
tre is to promote and support individual and organizational learning by providing them with opportunities to acquire new and employable skills and capabilities, thus allowing them to stay relevant in the current knowledge-based global economy. CPD provides tutoring for numerous courses. It also sponsors seminars, workshops, and discussions for faculty and graduate teaching fellows on strategies for successful teaching and learning. Through these and other activities, the CPD plays an increasingly important role in enhancing the quality of academic life at the University. With a mandate to engage in short-term professional development programmes, the CPD also aspires to be in high standing in regards to reputation at local, national and international levels, and also be the leader in the innovative use of technology in its programme deliveries.
