Established in January, 2010, the Centre is a central service unit under the University College with the mandate to promote professional development and quality teaching and learning within and outside the University.

The Centre for Professional Development focuses its attention on the design, administration, teaching and management of all non degree/diploma programmes run by the University. These consist of short duration certificate programmes, training workshops and seminars organized within and outside the University campus. The unit also provides tailor made programmes for institutions upon request.

The principal function of the Centre is to promote and support individual and organizational learning by providing them with opportunities to acquire new and employable skills and capabilities, thus allowing them to stay relevant in the current knowledge-based global economy.
