King Faisal University
Preparatory Year Program
PYD @ KFU
Shabaka Training has successfully delivered the preparatory year (PYD) program at King Faisal University since 2008. In that time, Shabaka has prepared over 20,000 students for higher education through the medium of English.
At present, around 120 teachers, plus administrative staff are contracted to deliver services at the KFU PYD.
Shabaka has designed this program in collaboration with Pearson Publishing to meet the needs of the client. This not only takes into account the academic needs of the students, but also the cultural mores and sensibilities of the local population.
The program includes on-campus classes and online learning resources, coupled with regular rigorous assessment to accurately measure student progress.
The program is fully accredited by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation (CEA), a specialized accrediting agency that accredits post-secondary English language training programs.
