The Technical Trainers College
(TTC) in Riyadh offers a three year Bachelor Degree in the technical fields of Mechanical Technology,
Electrical Technology & Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) and Information
& Communication Technology. The program offers a new approach to the training of vocational educators combining training in the vocational discipline with
Vocational Pedagogy.
Additionally, the trainees acquire first practical experiences through
compulsory internships and training in Applied Vocational Pedagogy. As English
is the main language of instruction during the entire Bachelor program,
intensive instruction in Technical and Business English forms an important part
of the students’ education. The six semester training program combines modern
knowledge in vocational pedagogy with a thorough training in a chosen technical
specialisation. There is a 60:40 split between theoretical and practical
training. During the theoretical training, half of the time is used for pedagogy
related courses; the other half is reserved for technical training.
Successful graduates will receive an internationally recognized Bachelor of
Engineering Technology (BET) degree. |
