This document outlines the modules for a National Diploma for Industrial Technician in Civil Engineering. It includes 150 hours of workshop practice divided among masonry, plumbing, building trade, and wood workshops. The workshops aim to teach basic skills in each area and have students complete tasks and projects. Demonstrations and operational sheets will guide students. Students must maintain a logbook to record daily activities. Assessment will evaluate the logbook, completion of tasks, work interest, and safety practices, resulting in a pass or fail.
