Modern, non-traditional efforts for adult working professionals are the unique feature that sets PDRI apart from other institutes. EduLink Global, the online chapter of PDRI, works to find economical and affordable education for local and overseas Pakistanis.
DAS
Direct Awards System
This method, widely used in advanced countries, turns a candidate’s past experience and work potential into a professional certification. To use it, the candidate writes an essay-type action research assignment of 50 pages with less than 20% plagiarism.
It is the most suitable mode for overseas Pakistanis who are practically trained but have no time for regular study. Overseas workers with at least 4 years of experience in a specific area, even in lower-rank jobs such as welding technicians, electricians, survey assistants, construction labour or health care attendants, are also encouraged to use it, with more flexibility. Such certifications are not academic in nature.
AMS
Accelerated Mode of Study
Some international universities give exemptions on the basis of past work experience, but the candidate still has to complete a research thesis and an online comprehensive examination.
A mature and rigorously trained person can earn up to 60% exemption in this system, which saves the candidate time.
ORL
Online Regular Learning
This mode suits fresh or semi-skilled candidates who are not eligible for exemptions. An instructor takes online classes on Zoom, and a one-year or two-year program can be completed in a short time of 3 months. An additional fee is charged for it.
CBL
Campus Based Learning
We also offer some short, training-based courses at our head office in Mardan and our training campus in Lahore.
As a research institute, PDRI encourages candidates to apply for national and international certifications on the basis of research and online classes. Our motto is to develop and promote research-based, continuing professional qualifications that strengthen scientific knowledge. For this purpose PDRI has its own multidisciplinary research journal, jird.org, where the publication fee is zero.
