Our education culture is learning excellence . The education culture of HTMi is totally centred on  inculcating learning excellence in all students. This culture supports our mission of creating mangers from all students

To maintain this culture of learning excellence, HTMi staff  rigorously applies a teaching and learning methodology of establishing learning outcomes for each subject, which is then assessed using formative and summative work. Teaching is in the form of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Students are encouraged to actively participate in class, give student presentations and learn in student groups.  Our ultimate goal is to develop each student to become an independent learner, with strong critical appreciation and research skills.   Finally all student work is monitored and evaluated by a system of double marking and external examination.

Underpinning all teaching and learning is a strong English language and study skills support service.
