OUR PROGRAM

Vocational Training

English Language

Since English is a main requirement for most jobs in Sri Lanka, all our classes are conducted in the English medium and we maintain a strict English-only policy. In class, we use a variety of communicative methods to improve our students' grammatical accuracy. Through interactive activities based on the local culture and context as well as lots of practice, students learn to be able to correct their own work by the time they graduate.

Business Studies

Business Management is taught to students to prepare them for their future role in the business world, giving them the skills necessary to become a good employee or employer. Students learn how to motivate and get along with different people, be assertive, gain an appreciation for the different positions in a business, and understand the dynamics of the various aspects of a business. One major project during the year involves students forming a miniature business with a small amount of seed money and then running the business during BHA's annual Fun Fair.

Keyboarding & Office Computing

Students learn the basic skill of keyboarding as the foundation for this course, designed to make a student capable and confident in handling basic office administration tasks on the computer. After developing their keyboarding skills, they move on to word processing tasks and learn the basics of Microsoft Office applications and Internet usage.

Teachers Training

Because many BHA students go on to obtain jobs in the education field, we occasionally offer special classes in teachers training. In addition to this, the College of Education at Murray State University has provided training for our own staff members, which has helped to improve our curriculum and skills as teachers.
