NEW DELHI: The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has launched an open learning platform to offer online certification courses to students and professionals. Through this platform, the institute will provide a diverse range of courses, including economics, human resources, information technology, leadership, finance and accounting, and data science. The duration of these courses will range from four to six weeks.
As per the institute's release, these courses will also be available on popular online education platforms – Swayam and Coursera. In addition to offering an intensive and high-quality learning experience, the online certification courses will serve as the first contact point for aspirants looking to upskill and to upgrade.
A wide range of synchronous or live courses, as well as asynchronous and self-paced courses, will be available to learners on the platform. "IIMA will also introduce a ‘Learning Path’ module in the future, which aims to give guidance to students to switch to, or upskill, in a specific discipline.
