NIIT uses the 4A methodology to impart education in the IT Wizard program. The underlying principle of
the 4A methodology is intended to provide maximum learning modes and experiences to students.
Through this concepts can be easily introduced, reinforced, assembled and applied.

The 4A Methodology has four stages:

1. ACQUIRE: This is the first stage where the faculty introduces a topic with the help of a Computer Aided
teaching tool. The objective is to introduce and explain the concepts related to the particular session.

2. AUGMENT: In this stage, students go through Computer Based Tutorials (CBTs). The objective is to
reinforce the concepts, through the experience of CBTs.

3. ASSEMBLE: In the third stage, students use the courseware to revise the contents. The objective is to
synthesize learning, practice exercises and plan for solutions.

4. APPLY: The final component in the 4A Methodology focuses on the hands-on application of the
concepts learnt. The objective is to gain skills by practicing and implementing the solutions planned.
