Overview

Objective:

To train CATs over a period of 12 weeks to make them ready and productive for
deployment to real life engagements.

Why revisit the curriculum? Avenues of improvement…

To explore avenues of bringing
in greater degree of
effectiveness, by leveraging on
the insight gained into the
training curriculum through close
association.
• Pruning the diversity of topics in curriculum and focusing
on areas of higher relevance, in greater depth
• Increasing deeper mentor connect and reducing e-
learning
• Increasing focus on appreciating practical applicability of
knowledge rather than covering theoretical breadth
• Imbibing the ability to self explore, learn and apply
