Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT)

The Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT) was established with the main task of providing vocational training in the country. The Institute later expanded its scope to offer technical secondary school courses and training for Technical Assistants before it was upgraded in 1962 to become the Dar es Salaam Technical College (DTC); the first formal technical training institution in the country.

DIT is a fully accredited institution by the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE). It offers a wide range of full-time, part-time and professional engineering qualifications and courses. The Institute has replaced the FTC and ADE programmes with Ordinary Diploma and Bachelor of Engineering programmes respectively (i.e National Technical Awards (NTA ) Level 4-8) in line with the NACTE competence based modular training system.

DIT Mwanza campus offers a one year Leather based programme, Basic Technician Certificate in Leather Products Technology, leading to a National Technical Award (NTA Level 4). This adds up to the existing programme and courses, Ordinary Diploma in Science and Laboratory Technology, Leather Craft Tanning, Basic Shoe and Leather Goods Making, and Information and Communication Technology.

DIT Mwanza campus has revolutionalised Leather Processing and Leather Products Technology trainings by adopting a teaching factory approach, whereby trainings are interactively linked to real life factory/industrial businesses. In addition to that, we continue to support the Tanzanian hides and skins derived industries to leather products development.
