The Dean of the Faculty of Science, Dr. Kimathi indicated that “… this is an important milestone as CUEA seeks to diversify what the University is offerings to our students, especially in Computer Science”.
CUEA was chosen for this partnership due to its strength; in being located in a serene environment; its excellent facilities and related resources.
With this MoU, the University is now certified and authorized by Huawei to deliver official technical and certification training to its students using the Huawei authorized training curriculum and tools. This will go a long way in CUEA and Huawei building ICT Talent in Kenya and Africa at large.
Some of the lecturers of the University (Computer Science department) are already trained to offer the curricula to students. A number of students have also been trained and are already brand ambassadors for the program.
In September 2018, the University achieved the status of a Huawei Authorized Information and Network Academy (HAINA).
