Courses of network technologies by D-Link training programmes will be

year. Afterwards, the students will be able to hear the courses of

‘Currently, D-Link has such programmes in about 50 HEEs in the former
USSR territory, as well as a separate faculty in MSTU after Bauman
in Moscow. The range of the courses is very wide, and we selected
4 – 5 disciplines to offer to GITC students. Moreover, the students
will be able to have remote courses in other D-Link centers in CIS
countries’, A. Shahnazaryan explained. According to GITC Executive
Director Gourgen Paronyan, short courses will be held in December
for a small group of students, and it is scheduled to start regular

and Armenian HEEs’, G. Paronyan said. The courses will be on a paid
basis. Upon the results of each term, the best 2 students of GITC will
receive D-Link scholarship at the rate of 20,000 drams (the students
beyond GITC may also file an application). Those having finished the
courses will get authorized certificates of D-Link.
