AMMAN - TAG-Org and Jerash University signs an Agreement to accredit Jerash University’s center as one of the testing centers for Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Cambridge IT Skills Center (AGCA-ITC), where the venue will also serve in conducting training courses and examinations in both English and Arabic languages. 

HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, Chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh University (TAG-Org) and President of Jerash University Dr. Abderrazaq Bani Hani signed the Agreement, in the presence of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Dr. Ibrahim Tahat, Faculty of Economics Coordinator Dr. Hamzeh Al Hawamdeh, and the President Assistant for PR and Marketing Mr. Walid Halloush. The agreement comes as part of a series of other agreements made with universities to facilitate acquiring the International Diploma in IT Skills for both Jordanian citizens and foreign residents.

HE Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh indicated that “TAG-Org is always keen on providing the best educational services to qualify the young generation to positively contribute to the business world, which is in line with His Majesty King Abdullah’s directives, and that ensures the young generation is capable of competing with the rapid developments and progress in the world of Information Technology and Telecommunications.”

Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh added: “In addition to accrediting the venue for teaching courses and examination related to the TAG-ICT diploma, TAG-Org will establish a Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Station (TAG-KS), which will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a free-internet line.” He added, “TAG-KS has a system of continuous development of education.”

He further said, “TAG-Org will provide Jerash University with a “Training of Trainers’ (ToT) program, and jointly work with Jerash University on other educational initiatives– including a Special Needs Center.

Expressing his pleasure with this cooperation with TAG-Org Dr. Bani Hani stated: “We at Jerash University have a diverse range of students and therefore, we are always keen on delivering the best programs, including in the world of ICT and the newly proposed one by TAG-Org to teach Arabic as a foreign language.”

It was also proposed by Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh that TAG-Org will offer a course based on Dr. Bani Hani’s book, “Institutional Economics.”

The agreement states that students will be exempted from the university’s prerequisite computer course upon the completion of the diploma, as it qualifies students with IT skills through programs that use best methods for developing Human capabilities and enhancing IT skills on a professional level.

TAG-Org holds the exclusive right in all Arab countries to grant the IT International Cambridge Diploma in Arabic through an officially signed agreement with Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) -University of Cambridge − which is part of Britain’s University of Cambridge. 

The exam materials include an introduction to Information Technology, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
