Happy weekend to you all.
It's been like more than 14 weeks of study, burning the midnight oil, for all the tests, and assignments.
The final exam this week was a relief to say the least.
I have got two weeks to wait for the results to come out.
School is out now for a month or so and I am back to my usual route to the office in the mornings.
A bit of back ground about the course I am taking at the IBS.
I am studying for my Diploma in Business (DIB) at the Institute of Business Studies a tertiary college in PNG that is affiliated with the Southern Cross University of Australia.
The IBS also offers an MBA program through its affiliation with the Deaken University.
The diploma program offered is the foundation in a career path that leads towards a bachelors degree.
After the diploma program, the next step in the career path is the associate degree and finally the bachelor degree program.
You can obtain a diploma with the IBS in a year and in three years get your bachelors degree majoring in accounting, marketing, information systems or information technology.
What I like best about the IBS is that you can obtain an international qualification right here at home which means you get to be close to your loved ones while you take up studies.
This year (2011) the IBS saw the highest number of student intake ever recorded as a result of clever marketing and recommendations from past students.
The average student per class this at the IBS was around 90 students compared to an average of 30 students per class in the previous years.
The IBS has a unit research centre to ensure that the curriculums they offer are up to date each year.
For those who are working you can always take up studies part time and complete your diploma in two years and in four years you can get your degree.
So far I have completed 4 units out of the 8 units in the diploma program and have 2 more semesters to complete before I can get my diploma.
To interested persons living in PNG or Port Moresby I would highly recommend studying at the IBS to further your academic education.
