Post-Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (Full-Time only)

This post-diploma programme in electrical and electronics engineering technology at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development leads to a Diploma award. It is designed for SHS graduates from a range of backgrounds and focuses on practical, industry-ready skills. Here you will learn what the field involves, how competitive entry is, and what you can do after graduation.

What this field of study covers

Electrical and electronics engineering technology is about applying electrical and electronic principles to real-world systems. Programmes of this kind typically cover circuit analysis, power generation and distribution, electronics, control systems, and instrumentation. You learn to install, test, troubleshoot, and maintain electrical equipment and electronic devices, as well as read and construct circuit diagrams. The emphasis is on hands-on skills that are directly useful in industry.

Who can apply and how competitive it is

This diploma is open to SHS graduates from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds, giving it a wider entry net than many engineering programmes. Entry is less competitive than most engineering and technology courses, so it is a realistic option if you are interested in an engineering technician career. The programme is based in Kumasi, and you can check with the university to see whether your WASSCE grades qualify.

Where this qualification can take you

Graduates of electrical and electronics engineering technology programmes commonly work as technologists or technicians in power companies, telecommunications firms, manufacturing plants, and construction companies. Typical work includes maintaining electrical systems, installing and testing equipment, assisting engineers with designs, and supervising installation projects. Many graduates start in technical positions and later move into supervisory or project management roles.
