The ICT industry is a dynamic sector which requires a number of technical people to

cope with the constantly evolving computing technologies. IT persons offer technical

support in these technologies and help other IT specialists in their daily job. The

Diploma in ICT is the first step in a block of a three-year training programme, designed to provide the necessary skills to work in the computing industry. At this level of study, learners will be introduced to fundamental subjects in the networking, software development, web development and multimedia areas. At the end of the course, learners will be able to use modern computer and multimedia systems and networks in the workplace.
