This qualification is designed to enhance the careers of Technical operators,Artisans,Tradesmen/women,TechniciansandTechnicalMiddleManagement.
TimeCommitment forEachCertificateThe theoretical component of this qualificationwill require a time commitment of 6 months ofstudy per course. The theoretical component is complimented with 24 months practicalexperienceintherespectiveareaofstudywhichwill lead to the achievement of the NationalTechnicalDiploma.
Each N4, N5, N6 certificate requires 30 hoursattendance online. There are 4 subjects; thusmeaningthatyourequire120hoursattendanceonline.Inaddition,youneedtoplanfor60hoursself-study for each certificate (or 15 hours persubject).Thisrequiresyoutodedicateatleast7to 10 hours per week in total to achievingsuccess.
You will attend 4 tutorial sessions per weekonline each of 1.5 hours length at your choiceduringworkinghoursorintheeveningafter6pm,studying two (2) subjects per trimester. In addition, you are required to spend another 3 hours on assignments (mainly problem-solving),labsandself-study.
You will be required to attend at least 80% ofthesetutorialsessions(fromanylocationaslongasyouhaveanInternetconnection).
LiveWebinarsDuring the programme you will participate inlive interactive sessions/webinars with thelecturers and other participants from around theworld.Eachwebinarwillbescheduledat2varyingsession times, so that you can select the onewhichismostconvenienttoyou.Uponapprovalofyourapplicationyouwill receiveaquestionnaireregardingyourtimeavailability.Wewillendeavourtoensurethatatleastonesessiontime,foreachwebinar, will fall into your preferred time slot.Recordings of the live sessions are also madeavailableforstudents.

AboutIDCTechnologiesIDC Technologies was founded in 1992. Since then, we have built a strong reputation globally as aproviderofpractical,technicaltraining.Wearecontinuallyaddingtoourportfolioofover300differentworkshopsandhavetrainedover500,000engineers,techniciansandtechnologists.
IDCTechnologies’workshopsarescheduledincityvenuesaroundtheworldandatthebehestofclients,presented on their sites. Apart from training workshops, IDC Technologies organises internationalconferencesonawiderangeofindustryrelevanttopics,andoffersabroadrangeofup-to-date,relevanttechnical manuals in hard copy and eBook format. In an effort to expand the reach of high qualityengineering and technical training, IDC Technologies founded a sister company, the EngineeringInstituteofTechnology(EIT).
The key objective of EIT is to provide premier practical engineering and technology education online.Programmes range from short certificate programmes through to Advanced Diplomas and Master ofEngineering.
