Who it is for
Who it is aimed at.
- Technicians and administrators in post or finishing their programme, as well as technical managers of SMEs. Networking notions are needed; no electrical skills are required at the outset.
Afterwards
Where it leads.
- Technical operations manager, infrastructure and telecoms technician, infrastructure project officer in an SME. This is the block that separates an infrastructure that holds up in Cameroon from one that only holds up on paper.
Method
How it works.
Systematic alternation between short theory sessions and practical work, with most of the time spent on practice
Progression from simple to complex: each module builds on what was learnt in the previous one
Realistic role-plays drawn from Cameroonian business cases
Considered use of generative AI as a working tool, in line with the common core
Regular formative assessments and a final integrative project drawing on all four modules
Assessment
How you are assessed.
Formative assessment at the end of each module (graded role-play and practical exercises)
Practical work assessed against competency sheets
Final integrative project, presented and defended before the trainer
One graded assignment per module in the online course space
Tools
What you work with.
Spreadsheet for power budgeting and costing
Clamp meter, earth tester, thermometer and hygrometer
UPS monitoring software (NUT or manufacturer equivalent)
Asterisk or FreePBX — IP phone system; softphones
Link measurement tools: throughput, latency, jitter, loss
Project planning tool and acceptance test plan template
