Flexible assessment options: essays, projects, presentations, or portfolios.
Small-group, hands-on activities instead of passive lectures.
Embedded professional development & soft skills training.

Students from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds.
ACEL @ IHCL
At IHCL, we don't just teach theory — we build **confidence, resilience, and competence** through real-world learning.
Our Pedagogical Approach: Adaptive Chunked Experiential Learning (ACEL):

- Work-based learning directly connected to your job,
- Simulations that mirror professional scenarios,
- Collaborative research projects, and
- Case study analysis.
What makes IHCL unique is that this learning can happen anywhere — in classrooms, at your workplace, online, or even through daily life experiences. Every opportunity is structured to provide variety, challenge, novelty, and reflection, helping you grow both academically and professionally. You’ll move out of your comfort zone and into your growth zone.
