The reputation of Technical department, vision for Africa International Christian College, is largely a function of tailored programs that we expose to the students that we admit.

As a department, we are mindful of applicants who have decided it is cheaper and easier to obtain a National Certificate at this institution than other institutions. Outside the classroom, students benefit from a multitude of networking opportunities to enhance student's personal development that include professional and social contacts, career development assistance and real life experiences, mainly through the real life projects available for all programs.
