The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has recorded a significant boost in its efforts to train and certify Nigerian artisans internationally, as City and Guilds of London (UK) has approved it as a certified examination centre.
In a statement on Friday, the Head, Public Relations Unit of ITF, Mr. Thomas Ngor, said: “This development positions the ITF among six other centres across Nigeria that have received similar approvals.
“The approval, which was signed by the Chief Executive Officer of City and Guilds, Kirstie Donnelly, indicated that the ITF could conduct examinations for Level 2 Diploma in Engineering in Electrical and Electronics Technology and Maintenance Technology; Level 2 Diploma in House Keeping Services, Food Preparation and Culinary Art; Foundation Certificate in Basic Electronic Engineering and Basic Plumbing.”
Others listed include Level 2 in ICT Systems and Principles, Level 3 ICT Systems and Principles, Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying, Level 2 IVQ in IT Systems Support and Level 3 IVQ Advanced Diploma in IT Systems support.
The approval, he said, follows multiple visits by the examination body to ITF training facilities nationwide beginning in December 2023 soon after the inauguration of the incumbent ITF management.
