Investment Plan

To allow AIS to manage and discharge its activities and responsibilities as a Private Training Establishment (PTE) enrolling domestic students with Student Achievement Component funding, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) requires an Investment Plan to be in place. 

The Investment Plan embraces a set of criteria laid out in the TEC’s Investment Plan template based on the current strategy for tertiary education published from time-to-time by the Ministry of Education. The Investment Plan of AIS is the recorded observance of the institute’s commitment to meet all relevant aspects of that criterion.
