CIB Ghana offers both virtual and in-person tuition options.
Virtual tuition allows students to access education remotely, which can be especially helpful for those who may not be able to attend in-person classes due to distance or other commitments. On the other hand, in-person tuition provides a traditional classroom experience, which can be valuable for students who prefer face-to-face interaction with instructors and peers.
Exam results are released 30 days after the exams, and they can be accessed on the student portal.
