Transit A Plus

Transit A Plus is an accelerated program, established by Transit Mission, for people who have unsuccessfully attempted WAEC examinations leading to WASSCE award but still have ambitions to undertake college education. It is a second-to-none program in improving the educational status of the population being a two-pronged strategy. This is the first phase of Transit A Plus implementation. Transit Mission offers such persons a place in Transit College in their programme of interest as well as a chance to re-sit WAEC examinations to improve their credits to be able to enter universities directly. Such students can register for up to five (5) subject including English and Mathematics. Transit College management will advise the students on the combination of subjects to register for considering their professional ambitions.

The Senior Secondary Certificate Examination Subjects

SCIENCE	BUSINESS	ARTS
Mathematics
English Language
Biology	Home Management	Geography
Chemistry	Cost Accounting	History
Further Mathematics	Business Management	Government
Health Science	Financial Accounting	Literature in English
Agricultural Science	Commerce	French
Physics	Economics	Christian Religious Education

The student would concurrently pursue a diploma in his/her field of interest and prepares to re-sit WASSCE examinations. Students are given provisional registration for the programme of their interest but enjoys full privileges of the students of Transit College. Transit College arranges classes in those subjects the students have registered for in the WAEC examinations and prepares the students for the examinations.

The secondary school program is arranged in modules such that the students would cover the syllabus and sit for examinations within the two years he/she is still at Transit College. There are in all twenty one (21) modules equally distributed across the three years, seven (7) modules for each year referred to as levels. At each level, a student registers for the seven modules and at the end sits a comprehensive examinations. The student then registers for the next seven modules. When the student completes the 21 modules, the students then does a holistic revision in preparation for WASSCE examinations.

Programs on Offer

Diploma in Architecture, Design and Planning

In this world of ever changing design taste, Diploma in Architecture, Design and Planning enables combining creativity with technical skills to shape the spaces, services and experiences-both physical and digital-in which we live, work or play.

Diploma in Mining Engineering

Diploma in Mining Engineering prepares students for productive, life-long careers in mining and related industries or disciplines. It will provide knowledge useful for producing the region’s mineral resources, educate graduates to work in any area of the mining industry, disseminate newly acquired knowledge via publication of original research, provide professional service to the mining industry and public to assist in the environmentally responsible and safe extraction of mineral resources, and inform the public at large about the importance of mining to society.

Diploma in Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum Engineering is concerned with the exploration for and extraction of hydrocarbons; crude oil and natural gas. This demands use of creative and imaginative knowledge of petroleum geology, reservoir behaviour as well as fundamental engineering principles to develop effective and safe solutions for the exploration, recovery and transportation of hydrocarbon products trapped underground, onshore or offshore, and usually in very challenging environments. With continued worldwide demand for energy, there is no better time to be a Petroleum Engineer. Petroleum Engineers are at the forefront of ensuring that we have an abundant supply of oil and gas, in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner. While we have abundant mineral resources in Africa, we usually do not have qualified local people to be recruited in the industry. There is, therefore, great need to train people who can take up this challenge.

Diploma in Public Health

Management science in the public health arena includes the administrative and managerial approach. Only an effective and efficient management practice can translate theory, research and scientific innovation into practical solutions for health care. The course is beneficial to acquire theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills to apply a scientific approach to the management of health services.

Diploma in Computer Science

Computing and communications technologies lie at the heart of every organization. The delivery of information services includes a technological framework of hardware, software, networks, tools, internet applications and telecommunications equipment as well as the ethical, professional and legal issues which increasingly play a part in the industry. Diploma in Computer Science prepares students to design applications that can securely deliver data and information.

Diploma in Information System and Technology

Methods of transmission of data and information is changing at a very fast speed. And the computing and communications technologies lie at the heart of every organization. The transmission of data and information demands exhaustive knowledge of the techniques used. Diploma in Information System and Technology prepares students to develop a communication system that can securely transmit data and information.

Diploma in Education

A country without skilled workforce cannot effectively compete in the economic development arena. The preparation of a strong workforce starts from training teachers in imparting knowledge to the young ones who will in turn train others or join other productive workforce.
