Audit of Generic Programmes

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.
