About this Programme

This Short Learning Programme (SLP) is designed for students who would like to become involved on the technical side of computers. This programme focuses on computer “architecture” by concentrating on both the hardware and software components of personal computers.  It also exposes students to a practical environment with lectures held in the on-campus workshop. On successful completion, students will have the opportunity to gain employment as entry level technicians.  Students have the option to write the external CompTIA A+ international examinations.

What is a Short Learning Programme?

The modern business world demands a vast variety of skills and abilities.  Unigrad offers an extensive range of short learning programmes particularly designed to address these demands by enhancing the quality of skills and knowledge available to the workplace.  These short learning programmes are typically aimed at working adults, or those seeking employment and whilst they are not full qualifications, such as those appearing on the NQF and registered with SAQA, their benefit lies in their rapid and significant improvement to skill and knowledge levels of the student.  This makes short learning programmes ideal for people who need to upgrade their CV’s, but do not have the time or finances to engage in a lengthy course of study.
