The FIFA/CIES Executive Programme in Sports Management provides training in 6 essential fields of sports management, namely sports event management, finance, communication, management, sports law, marketing/sponsorship. Each of the six modules will comprise approximately 25 hours of teaching and learning activities, to be completed over one academic year.
The part-time nature of the course is to encourage working participants to enrol for the course so that they can take some time off their work to attend the classes and then return to their work. Mentoring and continuous guidance and online classes between blocks will ensure continuity of the certification programme, thus ensuring its effectiveness.
The mode of delivery for 2021-2022 will be by way of a block release system where students are required to attend classes at Pillai Institute of Management Studies & Research for a block of nine (9) days (Saturday to Sunday) at three different times in 2021-2022 and the fourth block of five days in June 2022.
The FIFA/CIES Executive Programme in India is meant to be an in-classroom course and is usually not conducted online. Participants are required to attend classes at Pillai Institute of Management Studies in Navi Mumbai, India. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, last year’s 2020-21 academic session had to be conducted completely online. We are planning to go back to physical classes for the 2021-22 academic session that will commence in December 2021. Unless there is a significant third wave of the pandemic occurring in India, we plan to stick with the physical in-classroom mode of instruction. A class bubble will be created with free accommodation for every participant provided during each block of the course.
