Dear colleagues

AIBD has the pleasure to announce the Online English Courses for Broadcasters, which will start from 15 October 2008.

We are offering three courses: basic / level 1, intermediate / level 2 and advanced / level 3.

We have three choices of courses. The basic course / level 1 will design to address the basic skills in English language. It will build up basic vocabulary to deal with day-today activities in broadcast industry and some amount of grammar would be introduced.

The intermediate course / level 2 will focus on building up the skills to more advanced level vocabulary, grammar and sentence constructions to deal with interactions in broadcast sector.

The advanced course / level 3 would make the trainees adequately trained to participate in discussions dealing with issues related to broadcast sector.

Each of the said three levels would be of 2 months duration. It helps building up a cadre of broadcasters who are comfortable with English in only six months time.

Since the entire set of three courses is offered online, the participants could take these courses while working. As long as the participants have access to the Internet, they could participate in the said courses no matter where they are. Our partner in this programme would be the Management Institute of Canada (MIC) that is also an AIBD Affiliate member. MIC will also issue the certificates. Some 50 participants would be able to participate in each course.

Certificate

Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will receive the certificate given by Management Institute of Canada.

Registration Fees

The registration Fee for each of the above-mentioned 2-month course would be USD200.00. The fee could either be paid by the participants or by their respective organizations. Respective organisations may also be willing to contribute to this project by covering part of the fee for each of their staff member.

Sponsorship Scheme

AIBD would be able to offer some sponsorship for a certain number of countries only. The amount of sponsorship may vary from country to country. If you need sponsorship for your nominees, please advise us. We would also need to know the number of participants from your organisation. The candidates would be able to benefit from various English sources.
