IDEAL is the only Institute in the country that offers these programmes.
That being so, it gives us the added privilege of being in a position to impart quality education in an area of which we are the pioneers.
Our Glass graduate diploma students are already in high demand both as designers with sound technical knowledge that goes beyond mere jargon, and as educators.
