AIUB-CISCO certificate awarding ceremony

A group of 30 police officers from the Police Telecom Department received their Network and Security Essentials course completion certificate on May 29 at Cisco Lab under AIUB-Cisco Regional Academy. The group was headed by the Superintendent of Police, Shofiqul Islam. The certificates were given away by Md. Manirul Islam, Director of Continuing Education Centre at AIUB.
This training programme is part of the effort by the police department to modernise the force through developing their human resource capability, especially in the area of information and communications technology. During the 4-month long specialised hands-on training, the officers were taught how to independently design, develop, and manage their own computer networks and protect sensitive information from intruders. The programme will boost the force's ability to maintain law and order with added technological edge.
This training programme for government officials is part of AIUB's community outreach programme to share their technical knowledge with other sections of society.
