The courses are for Ugandans interested in building an ICT career with internationally recognized certifications.
According to Huawei Uganda, the new courses will be accessed online via Huawei’s e-learning portal and will be instructor-led in order to simulate the best in-classroom conditions for all students no matter their education level. Upon completion of any course, students will be able to certify for an internationally recognized certificate under the Huawei Certified ICT Associate (HCIA) suite.

In a bid to favor learner schedules, all courses have morning and evening sessions from which students can choose from.
During a course’s duration, students will have access to e-learning materials and live simulators like virtual routers, switches, network masts, and servers.
