Introduction

In order to gain a competitive advantage in the rapidly advancing ICT sector, one needs to acquire the relevant skills. The centre for further education creates this advantage by offering skills courses as the market demands. This is to complement the Academic programmes by offering students a chance to do extensive practical work on existing training modules at the centre and experience real work situations through field visits and attachments.

The centre relies on the long history that MMU has of offering training in advanced telecommunications, computing, postal and business training to the employees of various telecommunications service providers. These have included Telkom Kenya Limited (TKL) and other national telephone operators in the African region, Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) and other postal organizations in the African region, Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK) and other regulators in the region, Government ministries, and Private organisations.

The centre is open to develop custom made courses to meet specific customer needs. In addition courses can be on campus, at customer premises or at hired premises.
