1.0 INTRODUCTION

Kwekwe Polytechnic management established the Adult and Continuing Education Division in the year 2000. The need to alleviate poverty, create employment opportunities, assist the productive population, within and without Kwekwe, to enable it to realize its full potential and to attend to challenges facing the disadvantaged people, provides a clear vision which guides the division.

2.0 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

2.1Modular Based

English Language and any other four subjects passed at O’Level with grade C or better or relevant NFC subjects under the Discipline or equivalent. The single module qualification is exempted from 5 O’Levels requirements. The single modular part qualification should be taken 1 (one) module at a time by those without 5 O’Levels.

2.2 Traditional Apprenticeship and Intergrated Skills Expaded Programmes

The Adult and Continuing Education Division offers training programmes that are demand driven, for which no formal entry qualifications are required. Some of these courses are offered in conjunction with the other polytechnic training Divisions- namely the Engineering and Commerce Divisions. The programmes vary from as little as 16 hours to 18 months in duration. The course participants are drawn from virtually all ages and classes of society with female participants, who opt for the traditionally male dominated trades being given priority and preferential treatment on enrolment.
