Diploma in Business Administration
The Fordax Executive Diploma in Business Administration is a cutting-edge and accelerated business program designed to provide a comprehensive education comparable to an MBA in just 6-12 months.
The Fordax Executive Diploma in Business Administration (EDBA) offers a dynamic learning experience, beginning with a 6-month structured coursework period. During this phase, participants engage in online study, live webinars, and practical business case projects.
The curriculum focuses on key areas such as Entrepreneurship & Business Development, Leadership & Strategy, Financial Management, Marketing Strategy & Sales Management, Operations, and Human Resource Management.
Rooted in a modern, forward-thinking approach, the program is distinguished by its tech-driven curriculum, offering real-world insights that align with the dynamic demands of the business landscape.
Our executive diploma stands out as an accelerated alternative, delivering a high-quality, accredited business education within a condensed time frame.
Following the structured learning period, participants have the option to undertake a 3-6 month capstone project, a practical application of the acquired knowledge. This serves as a culminating experience, allowing participants to demonstrate their ability to solve real-world problems.
Students have the flexibility to choose the pathway aligning with their objectives, interests, and long-term vision.
Fordax Business School’s capstone projects ensure a meaningful and applicable culmination of the EDBA program, empowering graduates with both theoretical understanding and practical skills for diverse and promising career prospects.

2. Professional Experience: Candidates must have had a minimum of 3 years of valuable work experience.
3. Language Proficiency: Candidates must exhibit proficiency in the English language and problem solving skills—essential for effective participation, as there will be business projects conducted in English. Ensure the ability to read, write, think and communicate fluently.
4. Internet connection: Successful completion of the online Diploma in Business Administration program requires consistent access to a strong and stable internet connection. This ensures seamless participation in online lectures, discussions, and resource utilization.
The capstone projects unfold through Two pathways:
