INTRODUCTION

The rising need for information communication technology in the country and the world at large prompted Wote Technical Training Institute to create a Section which will solely deal with training ICT.

Besides being an admitting Department, it also extends her services to the entire Institute on ICT integration and support.

The Department prepares candidates for Diploma in Information Communication Technology and Craft Certificate in Information Technology at KNEC and also cuts across other departments on areas of ICT.

The Diploma Course is divided into 3 modules. Only on completion of all the 3 modules does one receive a Diploma in Information communication Technology certification.

The Certificate Course is divided into 2 modules. The students graduate with a certificate in Information Communication Technology after the completion of the 2 Modules. Those who successfully complete the Certificate Course, join the Diploma Level at Module 2.
