The CBSE has asked the Principals to avail this opportunity to fulfil the requisite number of teacher professional development hours for their teachers by asking teachers to enroll for this course. For the teachers, successful completion of the course with submission of homework will be considered equivalent to 30 hours of Teachers Training/Capacity Building Program.
