Telecom Namibia Training Centre has been endorsed by the Namibia Training Authority (NTA), the national body responsible for the registration of vocational training centres and institutes, to deliver a wide range of general IP/IT training programmes, including vendor-specific certified technical training courses.
The certification came after a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the Centre’s systems as well as the training services and programmes currently offered.
Its mandate is to excel in providing such services and support to both internal and external customers, enabling the Namibia Training Authority to maximise its effectiveness and potential as a regulator and funder of Vocational Education and Training.
