As students will be working on week days during Semesters 5 and 6 classes being conducted on weekends. There are two specialization areas namely, human resource management and marketing management. Tourism management was considered but did not meet a favourable response at the stakeholder meetings. Some optional core subject units have been incorporated into the course – one each in Semester 4 and Semester 6. These are designed to cater for the varied interests of students. Due to administrative requirements it may be necessary to standardise which units will be offered across all SLIATE institutions during any calendar year. The competency based unit structure will allow for a more employment related focus for the various units of study as well as a more varied range of assessment methodologies than the traditional exam and assignment approach currently used
