4 Principles

Our framework for learning aims to achieve the four principles of personal development:

​

  1. Self awareness - the ability to identify your own strengths

  2. Self esteem - the ability to be proud of what you do and what you believe

  3. Self efficacy - the belief that you can manage a situation or perform a task

  4. Self actualization - the ability to realize one’s full potential
