Working store managers. Two to five years of store management experience is the usual starting point.

05Fees

What it costs, in full

AORE publishes fees exclusive of GST. Both figures are shown here, because the inclusive one is what you actually pay.

AORE has not published a fee for this programme. Rather than show a placeholder price, we would rather you heard the real one from a counsellor — +91 93126 83206.

Not a degree. AORE programmes are job-oriented professional certifications. They are not degrees and are not affiliated with UGC, AICTE or DEC.
