Batswana men and women need to be aged 16 or
over and should be able to read and write.
Duration Of Courses
Since the emphasis is on the acquisition of practical
competencies, CITF is able to produce competent
semi-skilled artisans in 4 to 12 months.
Where Training Takes Place
Training is carried out at CITF main centre in
Gaborone. CITF has Mobile Training Units (MTU)
