Students are attached to private and public organisations for a period of three months with a view to making them acquire practical experience and to the extent possible, develop skills in all areas of ICT. Students are supervised during the training period and shall be expected to keep records designed for the purpose of monitoring their performance. They are also expected to submit a report on the experience gained and defend their reports.
