Supervisor Training Program

Program Overview - The increasing interest in postgraduate programs (especially in business and management) has been influencing academic institutions to recruit competent teachers, supervisors and advisors who can manage students’ talents - and challenges. Most reputable postgraduate programs such as the popular MBA degree require students to write research-based final papers – business plans, consulting reports and academic theses. Faculty appointed to guide these students are facing significant pressures to deliver within the variant set of rules and regulations instructed by the different academic institutions, influenced by accreditation demands. Our Eureka Advisor trainers have many years of experience in different university and college settings, and a track record of success in supervising and examining.
