Parallel Programmes are run during the evenings and weekends, they are meant to cater for candidates who meet the minimum basic entry requirements for the Programmes on offer and will have been unable to secure places under the conventional day scheme or who prefer Parallel Programmes. Like conventional programmes they also run through out the semester what differs is the time classes are conducted.

Block release programmes are a form of alternating education, making the link between school and the world of work. Classes are conducted during the day for a set period of time and the duration of the block depends on the number of courses being taken.
