INTERNATIONAL VENDOR CERTIFICATIONS• Our school is committed to aligning ICT delivery of National courses with leading
vendor certifications.
• This allows us to bridge the gap between classroom delivery and the industry.
• As a result, we have developed mapping between Vendor Certifications and our courses. Some certifications are integrated completely others are used partially.
• We test our students internally using realistic simulations and at the end of the subject they are ready to take external vendor exam.
