Seminar Key Words

Understanding the terminology used in Corporate Seminars

Specific ‘educational’ words have been used to clarify meanings. These will help you to understand some of the unique CA concepts.

MENTOR CENTRE

Broadly used as a training organisation providing high-level training and education, through advanced e-learning technology, to the corporate market and to students who are registered at any institution of Higher Education.

SEMINAR

A short attendance course, having content designed to meet corporate needs.

MENTOR(S)

Is the single most important descriptor in CA vocabulary and methodology. It underscores the very heart of our philosophy and methodology. Every student tutored through CA experiences a process of being mentored. To us, the traditional correspondence way of distance learning is unacceptable. It is diametrically opposed to the principle of mentorship, which entails far more than subject tutoring. Various designated role-players are responsible for this aspect.

LECTURER(S)

Facilitate Certificate and Diploma students in classes. They must, themselves, have a Diploma to lecture to Certificate students, and a Bachelor degree to lecture to Diploma students.

TUTOR(S)

Mentor classes (or one-on-one) for Calvary University courses including Bachelor studies, and must have a Bachelor degree themselves.

COURSE(S)

A specific field of known description which forms part of a curriculum, and lies in one of the disciplines managed by a faculty of a University. It usually has a textbook and an attached credit value, e.g. 16 to 25 credits.

PROGRAMME(S)

A curriculum designed to lead to a qualification such as Certificate or Diploma, which consists of courses totalling, for instance. 120 or more credits.
