Training in the Adult and Continuing Education Division is categorically put into eight Programmes, with tuition being offered in a variety of skills areas. Thus:
One- Short Courses Programme: courses under this programme are run during evenings and /or weekends. Their durations vary from 16 hours to about two weeks per course
Two- Skills Upgrading Programme: Trade test preparation classes, for both theory and practical, are offered under this programme
Three- Industry and Commerce Programmes: The Adult and Continuing Education Division, in collaboration with other training divisions, and in consultation with the user organisations, designs and facilitates the training programmes, whose duration depends on the content to be covered.
Four- Business Training Programmes: A 40 hour Start Your Business (SYB) Entrepreneurial training of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) is run under this programme.
Five- Traditional Apprenticeship Programme (TAP): Tuition under this programme is offered during the term and day with courses durations being one year. As with Traditional Apprenticeship Programme, trade tests and Start Your Business training is also compulsory.
Six- Block Release Programme: Tuition under this programme is offered during the term and day with courses durations being one year. As with Traditional Apprenticeship Programme, trade tests and Start Your Business training is also compulsory.
Seven- Integrated Skills Outreach Programme: Training programmes under ISOP are earmarked for the youths, especially those in rural areas. Youths are given technical and entrepreneurial skills in relevant areas
Eight- Higher Level Courses: Short courses that graduate into National Certificate NC courses are temporarily held in incubation in the division until such a time they grow into stand alone departments or are transferred to other divisions
6.0 CERTIFICATION
Kwekwe Polytechnic certificates of completion are issued on successful completion of all training programmes.
