WHO WE ARE?

HISTORY

IVS-CEP, an integral part of the creative landscape, traces its origins back to 2004. Initially conceived as an initiative to engage housewives and offer a creative outlet for those with free time, the program took root as a response to the vibrant energy on the campus during evening hours. In its early days, it wasn't even referred to as the Continuing Education Program (CEP).

As part of its evolutionary journey, a pivotal shift occurred in the program's focus towards addressing the skills gap. This marked a significant expansion, welcoming artisans, hobbyists, and individuals seeking to enhance their skills. In 2009, a strategic decision led to the introduction of summer programs for children, notably launching the popular 'Artrageous.' While the course offerings were initially limited, encompassing drawing, painting, dance, and clay modeling, the program steadily evolved.

The subsequent years witnessed a restructuring of diploma courses, progressing from an uneven format to a more organized and structured curriculum. Events were introduced, enhancing the overall learning experience. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges. Despite the hurdles, IVS-CEP adapted by providing learning materials directly to students' doorsteps, ensuring continuity during
remote learning.

In 2021, a new chapter unfolded with a renewed vision. Acknowledging the need for structural refinement, the focus shifted towards creating a well-defined and organized program. Emphasis was placed on systems, instructional quality, and the recruitment of experts to elevate the learning experience. The program expanded to embrace emerging trends, offering diverse courses from game mechanics workshops to diplomas, catering to the ever-evolving landscape of creative education.

With a commitment to staying at the forefront of industry trends, IVS-CEP has become a dynamic hub for continuous education. The program's trajectory reflects a dedication to offering an eclectic learning experience that aligns with current and emerging creative landscapes. The emphasis on futuristic education, including technology and communication design, positions IVS-CEP as a leading player in the realm of creative education.

MESSAGE FROM THE HOD

AMIMA SAYEED | DIRECTOR CEP

The IVS Continuing Education Programme (CEP) was created on the premise that learning never stops! It is designed for people of all backgrounds who want to expand their skill set, broaden their knowledge or just nurture a hobby in a specific field of art and design.  Students can pick from a wide range of diplomas, short courses and workshops—all of which are taught by experienced practitioners.

Our CEP courses focus on practice-based learning where participants are given opportunities to acquire and sharpen skills essential for professional development. All our diplomas and short courses aim to inspire and encourage students to explore their interests. Expanding their expertise allow course participants to switch careers, take up side gigs and even venture into new businesses.
