PREAMBLE
Edify International applies multi-modal approaches in each training program. Micro-presentations, case studies, simulation exercises, and project works are conducted frequently at individual and group level. Since this is a full time participatory program, it is mandatory for all participants to attend and participate in person in each training session.
The training sessions are organized in evening hours (5:30 – 7:30 PM) on weekdays and 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM on Saturdays at Edify Center for Professional Development located at Bluestar Office Complex, Thapathali, Kathmandu.
