Course Objective

This Diploma course in Engineering (Rapid Transit Technology) complies with the revised CET Diploma Framework. The framework specifies that each CET diploma course consists of five 180-hour modular certificates (MC). Each MC is designed to be completed in one academic semester and is made up of 150 contact hours and 30 self-directed learning hours. The self-directed learning hours are non-timetabled curriculum hours set aside for self-paced learning activities like eLearning or project assignments.

Participants are required to bring computer notebook when attending lessons, as you may need it to access the e-learning materials, writing reports, etc.

This diploma aims to provide adult learners with the knowledge and skills required to undertake job responsibility at diploma level in the rapid transit segment of land transportation industry.
