ESIS Curicula 

All ESIS curricula are prepared as per NACTVET regulations and standards. ESIS through qualified consultant conducts Situational Analysis followed by writing a Situational Analysis report and then conducts Consultative workshop to bring together relevant stakeholders in the industry on question together to discuss and fine-tune the curricula draft.
