Finished Grade 12? There is a route in whatever your results — Foundation, Diploma, or straight to Extended Diploma.
Three ways in
Your Grade 12 results and your English decide where you start, not whether you can start. We assess at interview and place you on the route that fits.
- Foundation Programme — if your grades or your English need building first. One year, then into diploma.
- Diploma — a one-year diploma in Business or Information Technology, assessed by coursework.
- Extended Diploma — two years, equivalent to three A Levels, in Business or Computing.
Why diploma rather than exams
Diploma is assessed through assignments and projects across the year. A single difficult morning does not decide your result, and the work you produce is the kind employers recognise.
Where it leads
Extended Diploma continues into the Higher Diploma at Higher Diploma and the Advanced Higher Diploma at Advanced Higher Diploma, both taught here in Muscat. Talk to admissions about the options open to you afterwards.
What it costs
Fees are the founding rate and are payable in three instalments: 17 October 2026, 24 January 2027 and 1 May 2027. Registration is charged separately — OMR 315 for higher diploma programmes, OMR 260 for Diploma and Extended Diploma. No VAT applies to educational services in Oman.
