CCPD offers a range of non-credit-bearing short courses and continuing professional development to people who cannot commit to long-term study for a particular programme. The courses run from a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 12 weeks and they are delivered through face-to-face and a blended learning mode of delivery.  The Centre offers customised short courses tailor-made for the client.
