Iscom in collaboration with Elmwood College offers a dual certification, one in golf management and the other in international golf course management.
These programmes will be delivered at Pune, Iscom, and are certified by the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews (R&A), Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) & the Indian Golf Union.
Graduates of any discipline are eligible but they must pass the entrance test conducted by Iscom.
Candidates qualified in GMAT, CAT, MAT or an equivalent test with at least 50 per cent marks will be exempt from entrance test. Defence service officers may also be exempted from the entrance test based on sender profile and this is entirely at the discretion of the institute.
All candidates will have to qualify in personal interview.
Interested candidates should be familiar with the game of golf, and if required golf can be taught during the course of the programme.
There will be four academic semesters of six months each and fee for the entire course is Rs.9 lakh including sendee tax payable in two equal installments.
