High School Diploma (HSD)

Entry Requirements:

9 Class Pass, GCS Pass or minimum 5 years work experience in any field and good written and spoken English language required.

Duration:

Students must successfully complete the 80 credit hours in 3 years.

Course Design:

All the business courses have the same general design for convenience of continued study without reorientation.

• Each chapter below varies in length from a few pages up to well over a hundred.
• Occasionally case studies or certain useful points are repeated in other courses. This is true because some abstracts have several good points and can be analyzed differently depending on the specific course taken. In addition, many students only take one course and might miss an important aspect.

Note: If this course has been purchased outside the Greenford International University family, it is beneficial for the student that the prerequisites are strictly adhered to. The prerequisites are listed on the course package.
