03 — Curriculum Architecture

Design Principles

  1. Competency-based — progress by demonstrated skill, not seat time
  2. 70% practical — lab, project, simulation, real-world tasks
  3. Project-assessed — capstone projects replace most written exams
  4. Stackable — each module earns a micro-credential, modules compose into full qualifications
  5. Industry-validated — every module co-designed with at least 2 employer partners
  6. Bilingual delivery — English terminology + vernacular explanation
