Technicians in electronics and telecommunications install, operate, test and repair electrical equipment and electronic controls. Working in Qatar’s naval forces, electronics and telecommunications systems technicians carry out routine maintenance checks, ensuring that the testing and calibration of equipment is conducted according to standard operating procedures and manufacturers’ guidelines. Naval electronics and telecommunications technicians generally work in the electronics and telecommunications departments of ships, and/ or naval-related base units. The applied Technician Certificate - Electronics and Telecommunications Systems (T. Cert. Elec.TS) prepares graduates for entry into a career in electronics and telecommunications systems in the State of Qatar Emiri Naval Forces. The program is competency-based with a mix of theory and practical skills development. Students will train in simulated work environments within College of Engineering and Technology workshops and pilot plants, using current industry standards, and industry-relevant tools and equipment.
Trainees will receive workplace safety training at the beginning of the program. Safety principles are reinforced and embedded throughout every course and technical tasks are completed
during the program.
