The Skills Training Awards are our way of recognising by certification, the participation of our students at training workshops throughout the year, especially those students who have attended a significant number of training sessions.

The ceremony is an important opportunity for students to meet with some of our trainers who consist of academic staff, trainers from external organisations like PwC who sponsor the programme, Deloitte and TeachFirst, local business people and entreprenuers, and individuals who have an specific interest in training and development.
