University Dual Degree
ASAP programme has three levels. The first level which is compulsory for every student opting for skill development programme would be of 300 hours. The second level will be of 300-500 hours duration. The third level will also be of 300-500 hours and is an advanced module in the selected area of specialization. Certification under ASAP is three-fold in nature. The most advanced form will be where the student undergoes all the three levels of the programme. This will be so designed to meet the academic requirements prescribed by the Universities in Kerala. A student is thus given the opportunity to earn a dual degree awarded by University.

Government of Kerala Certification & Industry Certification
At the other levels certification will be provided for students of Higher Secondary schools and Colleges of Government and wherever possible the industry association also.
