Teaching methods and style

We’re a 100% online education provider, so we use a state-of-the-art learning management system (LMS) to deliver our active teaching, resources, and assessments. Our system tracks and manages the learning process in real-time and provides you with immediate access to your learning materials.

What is competency-based education?

This type of education measures skills and learning rather than time. PCiBS students’ will progress through courses when they can prove they’ve mastered the material and not only at the end of a semester or term. Some students can learn faster, spend more time on schoolwork, or utilize the knowledge they have from prior learnings.

With 24/7/365 access to online learning resources, students can embark on a tailored educational journey according to their current knowledge and competencies. Each potential student performs an online self-assessment before his engagement as a student with PCiBS. Besides, faculty members and lecturers will provide personalized learning support.

It doesn’t matter what obstacles and challenges you face, PCiBS will put you in charge of your education. The following items are crucial to putting YOU into the driver’s seat of your studies.

• It’s individualized: Because every student is different, we believe the learning experience for our students should be built around you, not PCiBS.
• It’s efficient: You focus on learning the material that’s new to you. We assist in some topics where you need a bit of a refresher and follow on through subjects you know well. If you are competent, you are qualified! We don’t waste your time.
• It’s supportive: You have a whole team around you to assist you in making a success of your studies, from our faculty, lecturers, staff, and your fellow students.
• It’s flexible: Study when and where it works best for you. PCiBS LMS resources are anywhere wifi is.
