Academic support
The faculty members were very supportive from my first day when I register to the course. They are very supportive and responsive. They resolve my query within 24 hours. They aso provide guidance about online classes and resolve technical issues during exams.
Enrolment Process
The process was long there was alot of back and fourth with documents but nothing complicated.
MANCOSA's POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN RISK MANAGEMENT
From my experience, MANCOSA is the perfect place to gain an internationally recognized and accredited qualification while working full-time, I say this because the institution's programs are all offered on Distance (Fully online). I loved that, the lessons (webinars) were always engaging with the lecturer allowing students to equally participate and ask questions. Furthermore, I also enjoyed their online freshdesk which enabled students to ask further questions that lecturers could not provide answers to - during class. What I found challenging was the lack of memorandums to past exam questions - the college avails all past exam papers however no memorandums are provided, the reason being, to allow students to think outside of the box when and provide answers that are unique and authentic. Lastly, I would very much recommend MANCOSA to anyone who is looking to study online, from anywhere in the world and acquire an internationally recognized qualification. I forgot to mention, MANCOSA is also a member of the Honoris United Universities which is a pan-African private higher education network that includes tertiary education institutions in North and Southern Africa. Honoris values lies on �collaborative intelligence�, �cultural agility� and �mobile mindset�.
