Fed Poly Offa Gets TETfund Approval To Establish ICDL Training Center





The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETfund) has granted an approval to the Federal Polytechnic Offa to establish ICDL Accredited Training Centre(ATC) in the Polytechnic to provide digital literacy and serve as prometric centre for staff and students.

International Computer Driving Liscense (ICDL) is a global organisation that is saddled with the responsibilities of training the trainers in Information and Communication Technology using the state of the art technology that emphasises quality delivery of services

Following the TETfund's approval of the centre, the Polytechnic delegates attended a 5-day training workshop recently held at National Open University of Nigeria, Ilorin Centre to train staff and students on digital skills acquisition based on the ICDL curriculum.

The TETfund ICDL training will benefit students by enhancing their digital skills, validation skills, increase employability, global recognition and additional certification.

Similarly, the administrators at the centre will have access to life-long learning, additional certification, an invitation to ICDL regional and global summits and increase internally generated revenue of the Polytechnic.

Dr. Kadiri Kamoru Oluwatoyin FNSE for granting them the opportunity to attend the training. The participants assured the Management of utilising their knowledge to further contribute to the growth and development of the Polytechnic.
