Remy Edmundson - Sentiments of a Saint

NBSSI TRAINING PROGRAMME

Posted by Remy Edmundson under Education, Technology

Yesterday brought to a close, a 2 day Internet Training programme which my company Integrity Internet Marketing organised for the Greater Accra Regional(Business Advisory Centers) heads of the National Board For Small Scale Industries.
The dates were Monday, 26th of November and Tuesday 27th November.

The 2 day program which I coordinated, aimed at teaching the BAC heads in using the Internet Effectively in their day to day activities.
The resource person was George Kwabenah Appiah, an independent Strategic Technology Consultant in Ghana. Christopher Bennett, was also present to assist.

On Monday, when we got to the venue of the training, (NBSSI Headquarters in Accra), there was no Internet access from ZipNet, their Internet Service Provider. After fruitless efforts to get the ISP to restore Internet access, we had to move to the Accra Business Advisory Center to use their Dial-Up account.

Since there was network in the building George setup an ad-hoc network so the participants could access the Internet, via his laptop. The training went very well after this, with the participants really enjoying the training.

Yesterday, we went back to the Headquarters again, hoping that the Internet service had been restored. Well, we were in luck.
Despite initial battles with our router, we had another successful training session.

At the end of the training programme, we discussed with the participants how best they could pass on the knowledge gained to their clients.

Here are some photos from the 2 day event.
