1.0 PROGRAM OVERVIEW
NCICT programme is divided into modules each of which is designed to cover an aspect of the training. The Trainees will be required to undertake modules in Computer Literacy, Computer Networking, Computer Maintenance and Repair, Website Design and Development.
If a trainee successfully completes a module/a competence area, he/she will have achieved the competencies required toward a strategic ICT occupation and is, therefore, awarded CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY.
Trainees who intend to complete the full course will be required to handle in addition to the above modules, also add Computational Mathematics, Communication Skills, Entrepreneurship Skills and Basic Kiswahili. All candidates will also be required to come up with practical Real life projects upon completion of each major module (s), and undertake industrial Training at least twice before completion of the entire course.
On successful completion of all modules, the trainees shall be awarded the National Certificate in Information and Communications Technology (NCICT).
