Programme Description:
This programme is based on the job required to be performed by the Junior Computer Technicians in computer Designing, Programming, Networking and Communication service sectors. It is related to computer application and communication system installation and maintenance. Therefore, this curriculum is designed to provide knowledge and skills focusing on Computer Engineering related to the occupation. The curricular program consists of one year in house course and six months on the Job Training.
Similarly, the On-the-Job Training (OJT) for 6 months insists on the application of learned skills and knowledge in formal setting as well as the provision of OJT is also included to establish a linkage with employers and provides hands on work experience to students and promotes employability of graduates. Moreover, OJT takes place immediately after completing yearly final examination.
Course Duration:
This course will be completed within 18 months (40 hrs./week X 39 weeks = 1560 hrs.) class plus 6 months (40 hrs./week X 24 weeks = 960 hrs.) on the job training (OJT).
