International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with National Communications Authority
(NCA) of Ghana organized a hybrid instructor led
Training Course on Conformity and Interoperability for the Africa Region through ITU Academy entitled Conformance and Interoperability (C&I). The training took place from 20-24 November 2023 at the NCA Laboratory in Ghana with an online component allowing participants to join the session via zoom. All
participants should have laptops to enable access to training including those
who traveled because connectivity is through ITU Academy on Zoom. The training offered in English and French with interpretations in both languages.
Last year’s training on the topic of "Interpretation of Test Results and Regulatory Aspects of EMC" attracted a lot of attention from Member States and a request was received for a hybrid session with hands on training. This course will feature a hands on training for those who would like to attend the training in-person at the NCA Laboratory.
Please note that access to the training is strictly reserved for registered participants only. Due to the limited number of seats available in the class, only one candidate per country accepted for the Training Course and selection done on first come first serve basis.
Session Details
Training takes place from 20-24th November 2023, 09:00-15:30hrs, GMT, 11:00 – 17:30hrs, GMT + 2.
