Diploma in Hardware
Understand computer components and build an organised approach to assembly, maintenance and fault diagnosis.
Confirm the next intake, registration charges and payment arrangements with admissions.

Build practical skill. Create your next opportunity.
Computer hardware work is a process of observation, testing and accurate documentation. This diploma introduces the function of desktop and laptop components, compatibility considerations, assembly routines and operating-system setup. Learners connect what they see inside a device to the symptoms a user reports.
Practical work develops a disciplined method: inspect the equipment, protect data, test likely causes and record the action taken. Exercises can cover component replacement, storage and memory checks, driver issues and preventive maintenance. Client communication and the limits of a repair are treated as part of good technical service.
What you will explore

Learning through practice
Guided exercises help you turn an explanation into a skill you can demonstrate.
- Identify components and produce an assembly checklist
- Install a supported operating system and device drivers
- Investigate a simulated no-boot or slow-system fault
- Prepare a service report and maintenance plan

- Independent PC maintenance with appropriate experience

Is this course right for you?
Learners interested in computer servicing
ICT learners extending practical hardware skills
Aspiring computer-support technicians
Basic computer familiarity is helpful. Ask admissions about practical lab access and the equipment used for training.
Your questions, answered
Does this include fault finding?
Yes, troubleshooting is a central learning area. Practice should follow observations and tests rather than replacing parts without diagnosis.
Will it cover both hardware and software setup?
The overview includes physical components together with operating systems, drivers and routine configuration needed for computer servicing.
