The Program is ACTIVEclassTM Compliant whereby the instructional delivery approach is designed to facilitate, support, and empower the active engagement of Learners in the process of developing and acquiring their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how).

They focus on introducing the subject matter of instruction, mapping out and guiding Learners through learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).

ACTIVEclassTM  Learners are therefore encouraged and empowered to play an active engagement role in contributing to their SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and knowledge/know-how) development and acquisition process through actively engaging in the  Learning-by-Involvement (LbI)  and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based LDKATM Outcomes AATs (activities, actions, and tasks).
