We had the audit for the NEC220 code on 27 May 2021. Alhamdulillah, it was a smooth session. We were not grilled or roasted by the internal and external reviewers. The accreditation is crucial for the recognition and sustainability of our programmes. And, the fate of our students depends on the accreditation. Pray to Allah, may the result be good.
Happy Teachers’ Day to all Educators
May Allah bless all teachers and reward you for your good deeds.

One good tip from the video is to write a research diary. What is a research diary?
