The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Kelaniya recently completed its 10-week Certificate Course in Information Technology, organized by the Health Data Science Unit (HDSU). The program ran every Saturday from April 26^th to June 28^th, 2025, training 34 students in essential ICT skills, with a strong emphasis on MS Office applications.

The course targets working professionals, university students, and school leavers, helping them develop skills that improve employability in ICT-related roles. Its affordable fee, expert instructors, and connection to a prestigious university made it a highly attractive opportunity.

By using the university’s computer labs on weekends, the HDSU not only facilitated hands-on learning but also generated additional revenue for the institution. Participants showed great enthusiasm, and it is expected that they have gained practical ICT skills and confidence for both career advancement and everyday use.
