Enrollment Options

Flexible Enrollment Option

The iComp program consists of 6 courses which are taught over two years. Courses are taught one at a time over a period of approximately 3-4 months each. For example, Arabic was taught from February 2019 to June 2019, Foundations is currently being taught  from July 2019 to Oct 2019, and so on. For the sake of facilitating matters for our students, we are now allowing brothers and sisters to enroll for as many of these courses as they like. This means you now have a vast variety of enrollment options that were never previously available.

Some enrollment options you may consider:

  • Enroll for the complete program, and complete all 6 subjects one after another
  • Enroll for one year and complete 3 subjects
  • Enroll for just one subject that interests you the most
  • Enroll for a couple of subjects, take a break for a few months, then enroll for a few more

The options are endless!!

Certification

Completed in its entirety, Islam Comprehensive is a two-year diploma program. However, one of the added benefits the new format of courses is that you no longer have to complete the entire program all at once.

Upon successful completion of an Islam Comprehensive course, a student will be awarded 4 credits. Once you have 24 credits, you will be certified with a completion diploma. (Note: a single course may not be completed multiple times in order to gain more credits. Credits gained must be from all six courses of the Islam Comprehensive Program)

The credits you are awarded upon completing a course do not expire. So as long as you complete the 6 courses, even if it is over multiple batches of the program, you will qualify for a diploma.

Students who complete select courses from the full iComp program will be awarded completion certificates for the specific courses completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The courses in the iComp Program were originally extracted from the Aalim Course, and were abridged to form a shorter program. The aim of creating the iComp Program was to make these teachings available for brothers and sisters who had other full-time commitments such as work or school. Completing the iComp diploma program will not certify you an Islamic scholar or authority.

As this program was designed for individuals with full-time commitments, the course load outside of class time is quite light. Besides the time when you are studying for the test which takes place at the end of  each course, you will not be expected to give more than 2-4 hours per week for studying or assignments.

We understand that most of our students have other full-time commitments which may cause them to sometimes miss class. It is for this very reason that on a weekly bases, we provide our students with video recordings of all the classes. These videos may be used to make up for any missed class as well as for revision purposes.

  • Yes you can! The Islam Comprehensive diploma program consists of 6 courses, which are taught in a continuous cycle. This means you have two options:
  • If some classes have already passed, you can join in from the start of the next course, which will be within the coming 3-4 months. Since the classes are taught in a continuous cycle, you will be able to complete the courses you missed when they come around again.
  • If only a few classes of a course have passed when you wish to register, you may still register and catch up on the missed classes using video recordings of every class session.

The iComp Program is made up of six courses, lasting approximately 3-4 months each. You have the option the complete as many courses as you wish. You can stop after any number of courses, and come back later if you wish to complete the full diploma.

We have numerous options available for financial assistance. Our priority is always to provide authentic Islamic knowledge to anyone interested. Please contact our financial department at [email protected] for more information.

The Islam Comprehensive Program was first launched in 2010. To date, Alhamdulillah, we have had five batches of 100+  students successfully complete the diploma program.
