This questionnaire consists of two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A of this questionnaire is to know the respondents’ background, while Section B is responsible for studying the students’ acceptance towards Liqa’ programme. This questionnaire used two methods of determination of reaction from respondents with objective questions as well as scoring five levels according to Likert Scale. The scale 1 is strongly disagree, 2 is disagree, 3 is less agree, 4 is agree and 5 is very agree. In the final stages of the research, the study has structured and restructured the data analyzed and described in the form of appropriate graphs and
