Frequently Asked Questions

1.	What is the minimum/maximum duration of the Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Business Information Technology (PgD SBIT)? NCC Education doesn't set a minimum or maximum time period for the programme, the only criterion for the students is that they must pass all four modules. The programme normally takes between 9 and 15 months. However, the maximum duration to complete a module is 3 years from the point of first registration.
2.	Are the Start Date of Classes (SOCs) flexible i.e. staggered throughout the year so that I can register anytime I am ready? Yes, the start date is flexible. However the order of the module delivery is non-sequential i.e. modules 1, 2, 3 and module 4 can be delivered at any stage. Also to ensure good success, make sure that you do not do more than two modules concurrently.

Sometimes the University has requested evidence that the student has the necessary English language skills to proceed (any qualification conducted in English is sufficient).
