Accredited TVET courses from a vocational training institute in Accra, Ghana
Dalex Institute of Technology (DIT) is a private technical and vocational training institute in Accra, Ghana, founded in 2008. DIT is accredited to deliver two TVET programmes on Ghana's National TVET Qualifications Framework: CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) and Electronics, each from National Proficiency I (NP1) to National Certificate II (NC2).
These are national qualifications, not just an institute certificate. National Proficiency and National Certificate levels are set by the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET), and learners are assessed on what they can demonstrably do. That makes them recognised evidence of a trade skill for employers and a route to further study on the framework.
What makes DIT a vocational training institute rather than an academic one is how you are taught and assessed. Classes are hands-on and led by practitioners, and progress at each level is judged on practical competence — what you can draft, model, build or test — not on written examinations alone. DIT is a training institute, not a university: it awards national TVET qualifications and DIT Certificates of Completion, not degrees.
CAD/CAM suits learners who want to draft, model and prepare designs for manufacture on computer. Electronics suits learners heading for work with electronic circuits, components and equipment. Both start at National Proficiency I, so no previous technical qualification is needed to begin; each level builds on the one before, up to National Certificate II.
DIT also runs short, hands-on certificate courses for working professionals, including AutoCAD 2D, AutoCAD Electrical and Revit Architecture under CAD. Those lead to a DIT Certificate of Completion rather than a national qualification. Talk to admissions about the next TVET intake and which level to start at.
Frequently asked questions
Which TVET courses is DIT accredited to run?
Two: CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) and Electronics, each from National Proficiency I to National Certificate II on Ghana's National TVET Qualifications Framework.
Is DIT a vocational training institute in Ghana?
Yes. Dalex Institute of Technology is a private technical and vocational training institute in Accra, founded in 2008, and accredited by CTVET to deliver CAD/CAM and Electronics from National Proficiency I to National Certificate II. It is a training institute, not a university: it awards national TVET qualifications and DIT Certificates of Completion, not degrees.
How is a vocational training institute different from a university?
A vocational training institute teaches the practical skills of a trade or occupation and assesses what you can actually do; its awards are national TVET qualifications and certificates of completion. A university teaches academic degree programmes. DIT is a vocational training institute and does not award degrees or diplomas.
What do NP1, NP2, NC1 and NC2 mean?
They are levels on the National TVET Qualifications Framework administered by CTVET: National Proficiency I and II, then National Certificate I and II. Each level certifies a defined set of practical competencies, and each builds on the one before.
Do I need a previous qualification to start?
No previous technical qualification is needed to start at National Proficiency I. If you already have relevant skills or a lower-level certificate, admissions can advise which level to enter at.
Is a DIT short course the same as a National Certificate?
No. DIT's short courses, such as AutoCAD 2D or MS Office Automation, lead to a DIT Certificate of Completion. The CAD/CAM and Electronics TVET programmes lead to National Proficiency and National Certificate qualifications.
How do I enrol for the next TVET intake?
