Effective teaching and learning techniques
We chose our academic staff and lecturers for their in‐depth knowledge of the subject, academic experience, communication skills and dedication to the provision of assistance in student progress. We follow the proven methodologies for adult education and these methodologies are tested against students’ development and their understanding, performance and practice. We employ a variety of different teaching and learning approaches which include:

• Problem/case-based learning that requires the application of knowledge;
• Interactive teaching sessions;
• Pre-reading before lectures;
• Role-playing and active participation;
• Discussion forums and group study;
• Audio-visual presentations;
• Compulsory assignments;
• Student presentations (individual or group);
• Staff-teaching workshops;
• Mock examinations and learning from the examiner’s comments;
• Intensive revision classes.

Student satisfaction is of the utmost priority and hence, all the staff are available at all times to help you on the college premises. Whether it is a personal problem or a study related-issue, there is always someone to whom the students can talk. CIA offers assistance to students in finding accommodations, employment, or health care assistance.

CIA offers a variety of short term courses in both business studies and health and social care, with progression routes to some of the best universities in the UK.

All the teachers are exceptionally well qualified and have subject experience. Our administration staff are both well trained and focused, thus they will be able to provide you with good quality customer care. In addition, we provide a good counselling and advisory service for our students.

We have recently acquired an extensive e-library that consists of textbooks, research papers, clip art, photographs and a music section. Our institutional commitment is to pursue actions which facilitate the growth and development of our learners thus affording them the best chance to achieve their employment goals.
