Sunstone also delivered free online courses on various topics in last 2 years and more than 10,000 students registered for these courses. The short duration certificates will not be free, but they would be cheaper compared to other possible options. "Sunstone is known as a low cost, high quality education provider and we will continue to be affordable. Our large ecosystem and scale allow us to keep the prices for the short certificates really low. The price would be in Rs 6,000-15,000 range for most of the courses," said Rajul Garg, Director, Sunstone Business School.
Sunstone has developed these courses around the existing pedagogy of Problem Based Learning. These courses will also use content from other high quality online channels such as Coursera, Udemy. This will help students get certifications not only from Sunstone, but also from different prestigious global universities. Dinesh Singh added, "Sunstone's strength lies in coaching, mentoring and making the learning experiential. We continue to use the best content from our partners and other free resources and provide intensive coaching on them. Our short certificate classes would have only 10-20 students in the batch to make it really personalized."
Some short certificates have already started batches and the response has been overwhelming. Students joining short courses will also have access to Sunstone community resources, which will benefit them beyond academics and specific training.
