The Continuing Education Center (CEC) at Dhofar University (DU) provides access to the educational resources of the University and offers quality educational programs to meet the ongoing professional and personal needs of Dhofar’s adult community at large. It is dedicated to stimulating the generation of training modules in order to serve individuals in the private and public sectors in new and innovative ways. It offers solutions to training needs and provides its community with the combined support of a professional staff and the many resources of DU.
On-campus and off-campus offerings include certificate programs, workshops, seminars, conferences, and customized training programs to meet the needs of individuals and organizations. All CEC’s certificate programs, workshops, and other activities are taught by leading experts who bring their hands-on experience into the classroom. Programs and courses are offered in English or Arabic as reflected by the course outline.
The programs of CEC are developed to create an opportunity for strengthening and updating skills and learning new techniques for achieving personal and organizational goals. It is our vision to prepare participants in our programs for a world of change. An investment in CEC will prepare participants and their organizations for success. Our approach is innovative: participants gain insight not just information in subjects where others focus on technical skills alone. We develop programs in areas where DU is unique in the deep expertise of our faculty.
