Educational Philosophy

At International Investor Institute we truly believe in the transformational nature of education. The staff at III understands the positive influence that education can have on the lives of adult learners. Whether an instructor or a member of the administrative staff, all III personnel are dedicated to the task of developing and delivering courses that meet the needs of the adult learner.

International Investor Institute recognizes that the adult student

1. Has a well-defined self concept and desires to take charge of his or her learning,
2. Has a rich store of life experiences that can be called upon in the learning environment,
3. Is generally internally motivated to learn as opposed to being motivated by external factors,
4. Is a problem solver who desires opportunities for the application of new knowledge, and
5. Has education needs that are often related to changing socioeconomic roles.

Guided by the tenets of andragogy and self-directed learning, our educational philosophy compels us to create an educational environment that values every learner, engages the full range of learning modalities, provides flexibility in scheduling, promotes self-directed study, and provides opportunities for relevant application of new knowledge.

We invite you to experience this environment as you work to transform your financial future and your life through education.
