| Philosophy & Strategies |  | NIVE offers internationally recognised vocational qualifications that industry, business and commerce understand and respect, and that employer's support. BTEC philosophy extends beyond an internationally recognised qualification that embraces modularisation, flexibility and progression.
BTEC represents an effective, holistic process of vocational education that engages students, lecturers and stakeholders in the educational process by means of continuous assessment, integrated vocational assignments, and vocational experience. BTEC qualifications are aligned with respective industry or business standards. |
An important aspect of NIVE’s philosophy is to provide a quality education through the development of client-oriented programmes. The programmes offered by NIVE have the following features:
- They are modular in nature, with multiple entry points.
- They are learner-oriented and designed to maximise the
inherent potential of the learners.
- They combine theory with practice and foster the work
ethic expected by employers.

An important aspect of NIVE programmes is a Core Life Skills component. In addition to taking academic or vocational courses, students are required to develop essential Core Life Skills. These skills are integrated into the programmes. These are skills that employers consider to be highly important in the workplace.
The Core Life Skills areas that all students must develop are:
