INSTITUTIONAL OVERVIEW
Technology to ensure your success...
The QuickSkills Academy together with PC
Training and Business College has to date made
available 30 000 Tablet PCs to learners registering for Higher and Further Education qualifications, FREE of charge, when they enroll at the
College for a qualification.
For the year 2014 PCT & BC has adopted the
Lenovo S6000L Tablet PC, an IBM subsidiary,
which creates and builds exceptionally engineered personal technology and is seen as a
next generation global company. This means
the company is ahead of its game in terms of
understanding what it will take to win 5 - 10
years from now. Lenovo is growing rapidly and
winning market share in all parts of the world.
This balanced growth is what has made
Lenovo the fastest growing major PC
Company and enabled them to
consistently grow faster
than the market.
L e n ovo ’s
mission is
to become
one of the
world’s great
personal
technology
companies.
Students registering for PC Training & Business College qualifications
will now receive a
Lenovo 10.1“ S6000L
HD screen with 16 GB
storage space. The tablet PC is pre-loaded with
educational materials, including
study-guides and access
to the Institutions Learner Campus Administration System
and its Learner Management System.
Apart from the convenience of carrying fewer
textbooks, students also benefit from always
having their content with them anytime and
anywhere, at their finger-tips. The Tablet PC
allows for easy and convenient downloading,
communicating, collaborating, sharing and facilitating engagement in the learning experience at the Institution.
Jay Ramnundlall
B.Com,TQM, MBA ,CFA (SA)
Chief Executive Officer
New technology significantly changes the
learning experiences and lecturers’ interactions. Distance learners receive most of their
learning material including certain lecture videos pre-loaded and readily available from their
Tablet PC's, creat- ing a culture of learner
centredness.
The Tablet PC’s compact,
convertible design allows learners to comfortably make use of
the device in small
spaces.
Tablet PCs also
include Wi-Fi
and
internet support.
Learners
can quickly
jot down
n o t e s
f r o m
mathematical
formulas to
flow charts because
they’re electronic and can
re-organize their notes, save items
in the cloud and search for them later.
This Institution has also successfully migrated
to the Moodle Learning Management System
which also incorporates certain College lecture
videos as they are developed. Global podcasts of
experts’ opinions on pertinent subjects and access to real-time interactive learning experiences through webinars and chat rooms locally and
around the world, together with free internet
at Campuses makes learning programmes more
engaging, interesting and fun. Online assessments give learners more chances to improve
their overall performance, and ultimately their
chances of success.

The Tablet PC also creates a ‘green’ culture that will
benefit the environment by encouraging learners

use of paper and printing, saving over 200 tons of
paper per year.
The Institution has also
