How Does It Work?
Theory is delivered through our online platform (Moodle), where students access videos, activities, assignments, and attend online classes. Hands-on training includes manuals, recipes, video tutorials, and live sessions via Microsoft Teams. Students submit video and photo evidence of their practical work for assessment, concluding with a final practical exam at the nearest CTIA campus.
