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 designed 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 to 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. |
