GIBSdirect  

GIBS has joined the growing ranks of world-class business schools who offer online learning, harnessing the information-sharing ability of technology to deliver truly flexible education.  All of our courses have been specially tailored to suit the unique online learning environment and a fully integrated blended learning approach offers  a combination of lecture notes, articles, case studies, practical examples and video clips, while discussion forums provide you with the opportunity to interact with GIBS lecturers and fellow-students.

We launch our online education presence with three modules:  Marketing, Leadership & People Management and Financial Management, with further modules being launched over the year. These modules are offered as individual, stand-alone courses, completed over a two month period. Each includes an assessment, and should you attain the pass mark of 50%, you will be  awarded certificates of completion per module.

For those who have identified gaps in their skills and knowledge, these courses will provide you with the knowledge you need to help you become more proficient in your working environment.

To test your knowledge in various functional areas of business, please visit GIBS’ free online mentor neXt, and take the Functional Skills online test. This can help point you in the right direction.

GIBSdirect will ultimately be offering all 10 modules of the PMD so should you over a period of time find that you enjoy online learning, you have the added advantage of being able to complete all 10, undertake a final assessment, and be awarded the PMD certificate.
