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 2020-21 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 2020-2021 and a fourth block of five days in March 2021.
This format has been made so that working participants 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.
