Digital Age Institute has done it again

Press Release
05 May 2012 

Four students (now software developers), an instructor, a CIO and the CEO has together created what they have dubbed 'The Digital Michuki' in honor of the late Honorable Michuki, who was best known as the one stopping hundreds of deaths on the roads during his reigning as Minister of Transport in Kenya's government - the rules, saving hundreds of lives were fast dubbed 'The Michuki Rules' - seeing passengers using seat belts, matatu's mounting speed governors, and many other incentives and whips curbing the general and widespread flouting of traffic rules all over Kenya.

After his move to Ministry of Security, and later Ministry of Environment, the Michuki rules were still in effect, but his caring and hard hand was not there anymore to enforce the rules. Thus, Digital Age Institute has now come up with 'The Digital Michuki', which will see owners of Matatu's breathe lighter, insurance companies being able to cover more than the current 60% of damages on PSV's, and passengers getting safer to their destinations.

More about that - Go to KICC between 7th and 11th of May, 2012, and visit the Digital Age Institute stand and see for yourself what it means to use advanced mobile technology combined with advanced server technology combined with artificial intelligence to put an effective stop to the menace.

Long live Michuki's honour, be blessed

Digital Age Institute May intake is just around the corner. According to the Sales and marketing Department, the classes will start on 5th May 2012. The unit to be offered is the Linux Operating system. ''We will admit students for both the Linux Administration (Oracle certification), which will take 3 months. In the same way, we'll also admit students for the Diploma class,'' confirmed Enock Wambua the Head of Sales at the institute.
He further added that the new structure accommodates both the Diploma and the short courses at the same time. 'So there will be intakes in January, March, May, July and September. Hence making this system more frequent and flexible as compared to the previous system,'' For instance, if a student joins in May and is taking Linux Administration,(Oracle Certification), it will take 157 hours of study which amounts to 3 months. However, if a student registers for the Diploma, it will take her 9 months of study and 3 months of project work which total up to one year,'' added Mr Wambua.

In the wake of the new system, the Digital Age Institute is embracing the changes that the unit structure brings. It is in this bid, that the management has adopted around the clock signing up system. This means that the registration of students done anytime regardless of the time of the month.

Furthermore, structurally, the new units are now being served in a way which runs in three independent round robins, thus creating a continuous intake. This particularly means that if a student signs up in May 2012, he will be trained in OPS001 (Operating System), while starting in June 2012 he will be trained in JAVA01. This was confirmed by Mr David Svarrer, the institutes's CEO.
