Enrollment is open to young Muslim men who are holders of MSCE certificate. They undergo a two year long programme that is preceded with a one year preparatory programme after which they qualify with a diploma awarded by the Islamic African University in Khartoum, Sudan. Graduates from the institute can become Imams or teachers who may also serve the communities in different ways. These diploma holders may also advance their studies at other institutions of higher learning.
