Course Materials
The Unified Internet Training Programme aims to build standardised Internet training syllabus and material for the needy communities. These materials are provided to non-government organizations for their I.T. training programmes for the needy in the community. UITP also provides qualified volunteer trainers and tutors through its associated Train-the-Trainer Programme to assist participating organisations in delivery of these community training sessions. The programme recruits volunteers and provides training on knowledge and special skills needed for successful delivery of the training syllabus to the needy groups. We are also working towards incorporation of the UITP syllabuses as one of the entry requirements to certificate or diploma courses offered by educational institutions.
