The student completed an 8-week field attachment with Tanzania Telecommunication Company Limited (TTCL) in their information technology department. Over this period, the student learned how to perform several key tasks including connecting telephones via drop wires, troubleshooting and repairing broken drop wires, maintaining air conditioner condensers, modifying and configuring telephones and routers, and installing computer operating systems. The field attachment provided hands-on experience in various IT and network-related roles within TTCL's infrastructure and operations.

v. Learning How to connect table telephone by using drop wire
2.6 challenge faced during FA
I. First the adaption of the working environment, at the first time it was very hard to adopt the
surrounding because the much attention and silence is needed at the area of field work.
II. I faced the personal problems in which some tools like phone tester,amplifier, tone, three m and
device like MSAN ,DP,MDF,ODF,SFP which does not show in my eyes .
III. I faced the challenge during the network installation due to that the RJ45 breakup during the
installation of cable.
2.7 Recommendation for improvement
i. Field practice expanded my knowledge and skills from one level to another because I have learned
many and new things to an institution I was practiced.
ii. But there are challenges we need to face in order to make us unique competitor and be the stronger
competition on the outside market such as the practices training subject such as networking,
telephone troubleshooting, telephone maintenance and programming (command code)
