| Question: What are two advantages of PLC?Answer: It can provide bandwidth in excess of the bandwidth that is provided by analog PSTN modems.
I really do not think this is true. BTW where do you explain what is PSTN in the curricula? I somehow cannot find this. Also not there in the Glossary, strange. How can the student know this one? Could you please check the results of the students in this question and see if there is a greater number of students who fail this question? |

It was about two months ago that I came to know about the NGO Uddami. For more than 10 years they have been providing computer education free of cost to poor youth from Kolkata.
They were teaching the use of all the main business management software, like the Microsoft Office suite. They were looking for a partnership with the private sector to give their students some kind of certification after the completion of their courses, which might help them to get jobs. Becoming a Cisco Local Academy could help, I said. read more…
In March Rabia Khatoon (UCTC Project Manager) and Punam Karna (UCTC Teacher) went to Jaipur for a Training Program for Instructors on IT Essentials:PC Hardware & Software at the Regional Academy in CEG, Jaipur. This training was suggested by Carlos Gonzalez, a UN/Cisco volunteer working in Kolkata.
All three took the training course and are now certified Cisco instructors for the IT Essentials course. This means that Uddami Computer Training Centre is a Cisco Networking Academy and our students will have the opportunity to take this course and be certified by Cisco.
They started the first IT Essentials course on 23rd March for a class of 13 including our Partner Project teachers, Project Manager for UPP and Testing Team manager of USS.

I got information about Uddami from my father. Here is a place for the poor boys and girls to get a chance, where they can learn computer without investing a lot of money. Teachers are very helpful and careful. They always try to make us do better so we can make a better future. From there I can know that computers make our life interesting.
Now today I am working at Uddami Software Services but before I was a student at UCTC. But I think that without the teachers at Uddami I could not make my future. After training every student can make their future like me. Before coming here I could not find the answer to “What do I do?” or “What is my future?” But now I am satisfied about my future.
