Manama: The Crown Prince's International Scholarship Programme (CPISP) concluded its training for students taking part in the Group 26 Candidacy Programme. The training period is an integral part of the selection process for candidates applying for one of CPISP's annual scholarships.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the CPISP team commended the hard work, dedication, and performance demonstrated by students during the candidacy training, which began last summer in partnership with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF). During the closing session, participants received certificates of achievement for the Candidacy Program at the BIBF.
The candidacy training encompassed courses on academic writing and critical thinking. Additionally, students participated in leadership development training, which included a Level 3 Certificate in Team Leading certified by the UK-based Chartered Management Institute (CMI), as well as personality and career path assessments.
As part of the course, CPISP organized guest lectures and panel discussions with qualified professionals on academic, personal development, and career-related topics. The program also included IELTS and SAT preparation courses for candidates.
The CPISP team stated that the final scholarship recipients will be selected based on their Grade Point Average, IELTS and SAT test results, and scores on the leadership training and critical thinking course. Candidates will include students from both public and private schools.
The CPISP team extended their appreciation to the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Information, and the BIBF for their continued contribution to the program and wished the students success.
