Commonwealth introduces accredited E-learning courses to Ghanaians

John Apea, Head of Mission for the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council John Apea, Head of Mission for the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council

The Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council(CWEIC) has introduced specially designed accredited courses to increase the knowledge and employability of Ghanaians during COVID-19 era.

The Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, a major Commonwealth organization accredited to the Commonwealth Secretariat, and with a mandate by the Commonwealth Heads of Government to promote trade and investment, has out doored the Advancing Business Education (ABE) designed Commonwealth Home Individual Management Education (CHIME) programme in Accra.

John Apea, Head of Mission for the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council said: This online programme is a great equalizer because anyone, anywhere, irrespective of their previous qualifications, age, background or employment status, can register, enrol and study. It is excellent value for money, and because it is very heavily subsidized, students can study 36 modules and gain accredited UK certificates for only 185 Ghana cedis. This equates to approximately less than 6 cedis per module.

This programme is especially important during this uncertain COVID-19 times as it allows all Ghanaians to exponentially increase their employability, knowledge and skills by earning accredited UK certificates across areas such as project management, business finance, business administration, operational management, customer service and communication.

The Commonwealth is fortunate to have dynamic forward-thinking Ghanaian partners, who recognize the role that education plays in delivering most, if not all, the Social Development Goals (SDGs). Partners who have made the programme possible in Ghana are the SDG Advisory Unit of the Office of the President, the National Commission for Civic Education, the National Youth Authority, Joy News and Joy FM.
