The CBET courses are designed to focus on the specific competencies where a trainee is prepared for competencies such as communication, problem
solving, team work, technical skills or customer services.

Trainees learn through hands on experience, practicing and demonstrating their abilities in real world contexts. Assessments are designed to measure a student’s actual abilities rather than their theoretical knowledge. This dimension provides a more accurate and comprehensive picture of a student’s readiness for employment in a particular field. Whether you are looking to pursue a new career or upskill, CBET courses provide practical training that can lead to better job prospects and higher earning potential.

The intake of these courses is in January, May and September. The ICT courses provide students with a basis for further progression to the Universities. Students who attain credit passes at Diploma level are absorbed into the Universities at Second Year Level. The Department has 3 ICT laboratories equipped with modern computers.
