Foreword
The Higher National Diploma (HND) Networking and Cloud Computing curriculum is designed to be used
by training institutions to produce manpower to boost the practice of Networking and Cloud Computing in
Nigeria.
There is therefore the need to produce professional practitioners with good ethics and prospects for career
progression, through the acquisition of desirable knowledge and skills. This necessitated the production of
this national curriculum.
It is my belief that this curriculum and course specifications, which is the minimum required to produce
technologists with sound knowledge and skills in Networking and Cloud Computing, if properly implemented
with the required resources along with qualified candidates being admitted into the programme, will lead to
the production of competent and skilled technologists.
I sincerely appreciate all those who made the development of this curriculum possible. The invaluable
contributions of all the members of the committee and resource persons during the pre-critique and national
critique workshops are appreciated.
I hope that the curriculum would be properly implemented so as to produce the required Work Force of our dream.

4.0 CURRICULUM
5.0 STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMME

This is a two-year Programme i.e. four semesters of classroom, laboratory, field and workshop activities in the institution. Each semester shall be
of 17 weeks duration made up as follows:
15 Contact weeks of teaching, i.e. recitation, practical exercises, quiz, tests, etc and 2 weeks for examination and registration.
5.0 EVALUATION SCHEME

The HND Networking and Cloud Computing Examination must be externally moderated. In grading the students, theory shall constitute 40%
while practical and project are 60% respectively.
6.0 ACCREDITATION
Each Programme offered at the HND level shall be accredited by the NBTE before the Diplomates can be awarded the Higher National Diploma
certificates. Details about the process of accrediting a Programme for the award of the HND are available from the office of the Executive Secretary,
National Board for Technical Education, Plot B, Bida Road, P.M.B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria.

7
9.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME
9.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses the
need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wish to transfer the units already completed in an institution of
similar standard from which he is transferring.
9.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted; thus, making each of the professional modules,
when completed provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for employment purpose.
As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of Programme between the institutions and industry, the curriculum content
has been written in behavioral objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performances of the student who successfully completed some of
the courses or the diplomates of the Programme. There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance-based curriculum which requires
the conditions under which the performance is expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance. It is a deliberate
attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching the Programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in the
institution under which the performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for defining an acceptable level of performance.
Departmental submission on the final curriculum may be vetted by the Academic Board of the institution.
9.3 Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and
quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) system.
9.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should as much as possible be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional
courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For most courses, there should be a balance of theory to practice in
the ratio of 40:60
