Once again welcome to Our Department

We're thrilled to have you here to embark on this learning journey. By the end of the course, our aim is to empower both young men and women with the skills to:

  • Efficiently operate a variety of scientific instruments, essential for industries in Papua New Guinea.
  • Grasp the fundamental principles underlying the operation and analysis techniques of these scientific instruments.
  • Conduct routine maintenance and care for the equipment covered in our curriculum.

Moreover, this course aims to provide a solid groundwork, paving the way for graduates to pursue advanced technical training both domestically and internationally.



  • The minimum entry requirement Grade 12 (or equivalent) with B grade in chemistry and C grade in Maths, Biology and Physics or
  • TTC certificate in Science Technology or PETT certificate in Science Technology with industrial experience.
Course Duration:

The diploma program consists of four stages with each stage running for 20 weeks. Stage one and three are conducted in semester one of any year, while stage two and four are conducted in the second semester of the same year. This allows the successful stage four and two students to be awarded with the diploma and certificate respectively during the once- a- year graduation ceremony held at the end of the year. A student must successfully pass all subjects in any stage before proceeding to the next higher stage.
