Faculty of Engineering
Engineering studies operates in trimesters.
Entry Requirements: N4 – Grade 12 Maths & Physical Science
To qualify for a diploma , students do N4, N5 and N6 at the College, they are then required to do in-service training for 2 years.
Civil Engineering
The N4 to N6 Civil Engineering Courses concentrate on a design and project management related subjects.
Careers that can be followed if the student has a civil engineering qualification:
Bricklaying, Plastering, Carpentry, Plumbing, Building Designing, Quantity Surveying, and Civil Technician, Land Surveying, Town Planning, etc.
