The KSA Model
Knowledge, skill and attitude (KSA) are the three pillars of our course design. It imparts knowledge of the past, skills to relate the past with the present, and an aptitude to look into the future. It aims to develop the right kind of attitude to facilitate the emergence of a well-rounded, professionally honed and value-based individual to suit a frontline position in the development sector.
