Certificate in Introduction to Space Law

Outer space can be defined as the expanse or just the space that exists beyond the Earth and infinity surrounding the celestial bodies. It is a hard vacuum consisting of particles like a plasma of hydrogen and helium along with the electromagnetic radiations, magnetic fields, dust, cosmic rays etc. Space Law as a concept has evolved tremendously in the past 15 years and many international legislations have been enacted ever since man began the exploration of space in the early 1950s. According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on a Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture. 

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure a minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignment.
