It should equip learners with the knowledge, practical skills, confidence and professional competence required to progress in education, employment, business and professional life.

CPI provides access to selected Certificate, Diploma and Degree programmes through applicable academic partnerships and affiliation arrangements with TEAM University Uganda and Victoria University Uganda, subject to the requirements and approval status of each programme.

Our university partnerships

Academic programmes through recognized universities

CPI facilitates selected academic programmes through applicable academic partnership and affiliation arrangements.

TEAM University, Uganda

Examining & awarding body

Where a programme is offered under the TEAM University arrangement, TEAM University is responsible for the programme's academic governance, assessment and examinations, quality assurance and the award of the relevant qualification, subject to the applicable university and regulatory requirements.

TEAM University is a private university licensed by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) and is mandated to offer undergraduate, postgraduate and other approved programmes.

Victoria University, Uganda

Academic partner

Selected programmes are also offered through applicable academic arrangements with Victoria University Uganda.

The university responsible for each programme is shown on that programme's page.

CPI's role

CPI serves as the professional training and student-support platform through which learners receive guidance, professional training, application support, learning support and other services applicable to the programme. CPI does not independently represent itself as the awarding university — the academic qualification is awarded by the university responsible for that programme, in accordance with its academic regulations and applicable regulatory requirements.
