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 mode of delivery for the 2020-21 academic year will be different than usual due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The first two blocks that will take place in November 2020 and January 2021 will be conducted Online. The 3rd and 4th blocks that will take place in March and May 2021 will be conducted physically at the Pillai Institute in Navi Mumbai (subject to the coronavirus situation normalizing). Check the entire course schedule below.
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 between blocks will ensure continuity of the certification programme, thus ensuring its effectiveness.
