The campaign is related to the promotion of the Cambridge IT Skills Certificate throughout the Sultanate of Oman
MUSCAT --- June 15, 2008 --- A promotional management agreement was signed recently at the offices of the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGorg) in Oman with the Al-Ahmad International Co. in order to launch a first of its kind promotional campaign at the local and regional levels.
The campaign is related to the promotion of the Cambridge IT Skills Certificate to eventually offer the related courses for this certificate throughout the Sultanate of Oman, as a first step in the “Omanization of a Knowledge Society” initiative, launched by Chairman and CEO of the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGorg), Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh.
The agreement involves assigning administrative responsibility of the campaign to Al-Ahmad International Co., to promote the Certificate. The program behind this diploma is considered one of the best professional computer training programs worldwide, and is accredited by various governments, in addition to private institutions and semi-governmental organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This program is being implemented in the Sultanate based on a partnership agreement between TAGorg and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), via the Arab Omani Institute for Administrative Training, which is the exclusive agent for this project in Oman.
The certificate’s program aims to educate Omani citizens on computer usages, and raise their awareness on the significance of IT. Some of the program’s various features are the absolute freedom in choosing the language of study to be either Arabic or English, and choosing the system of study. Those who pass relevant exams will be awarded the Certificate.
TAGorg’s Executive Director in Oman, Mr. Mo’awiyah Khaleefah talked about the agreement in relation to the economic and geographic significance of the Sultanate, which makes it attractive to investors, who in turn will employ Omani cadres trained in the latest international professional agendas.
He added that “We are proud to cooperate with the Al-Ahmad International Co. on the first promotional regional campaign. This will involve several training institutions that will execute the Cambridge IT Skills program at the same time throughout the Sultanate.”
On his part, the General Director of the Al-Ahmad International Co., Mr. Ahmad Bin Salem Al-Seyabi explained that the project will be executed in six governorates.
It is worth noting that the Cambridge IT Skills program is taught in 22 Arab countries and 120 nations worldwide.
