- NAPTIN Technical Skills Acquisition Programme (NTSAP):
This is a skill acquisition programme for technicians, craftsmen and artisans (linesmen, cable jointers, electrical fitters, distribution substations operators). The courses run between 6-9months including practical field experiences. There is presently a high demand for this category of trades in the power sector. In order to meet this demand NAPTIN is collaborating with the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) for a massive joint implementation. In delivering the programme, NOUN will provide the classroom facilities which are located in each state of the federation and also teach the soft skill (non-technical) aspect of the courses.
