ATVI's
Academic Programs encompass the fields of ICT, Automotive Systems Technology, Agriculture,
and Construction Trades. These skill areas have been
identified by the Afghanistan Government and by international organizations as essential
to future economic development.
The
objective of ATVI's managerial focused training is for students who successfully
complete the coursework to be qualified to act as entry to mid-level managers in
their respective trades. Coursework in each program consists of four semesters of
ten weeks, with a two-week break between semesters. Class days run six days per
week, with days off for occasional long weekends and holidays. Because of the length
of each class day, the managerial curriculum progresses two equivalent academic
years of training in one calendar year. All training consists of a combination of
lecture, and hands-on practice, with some time allocated for external study (homework
or project assignments).
ICT
Training, Automotive System Technology, Agriculture, and Construction Trades training
courses are delivered over four semesters. Target course sizes are 15 students, roughly evenly balanced by gender in the ICT sector and predominately male in the
other horticulture, construction trades, and automotive maintenance. Curriculum
during the first year of training is a combination of core courses and major specific
courses. Year two curriculum is based completely on each individual program of study.
