BDEA is a pioneer in competency-based learning, which is a student-centered educational approach that emphasizes mastery of specific skills and knowledge over traditional time-based progression.

BDEA students advance at their own pace, progressing when they demonstrate proficiency in each competency.

This approach caters to diverse learning styles and abilities, allowing students to progress at their own speed, reducing dropout rates, and boosting engagement. It also promotes deeper understanding and retention of material, as students are not rushed through the curriculum. Our unique learning model empowers students to thrive in an academic environment tailored to their needs, fostering lifelong learning and adaptability.
