Advantages of Gaining admission into H.T.T.C. Bambili
The advantages of getting into H.T.T.C. are many, with other advantages of being a a civil servant in Cameroon. These advantages include:
l After you gain access into the university of Bamenda, which houses H.T.T.C. Bambili, instead of paying a tuition fee, you get to pay a registration fee of 50,000FCFA, which can be paid per semester, 25,000FCFA per semester during the three years for the first cycle and 2 years for the second cycle to have the corresponding diploma.
l After completing the 3 years the training program offered by the school for the first cycle, or the 2 years program offered for the second cycle, you get a diploma called the Secondary School Teacher’s Diploma, commonly called by the French acronym, Diplôme de Professeur de l’enseignement Secondaire (D.I.P.E.S. I) for the first cycle and a D.I.P.E.S. II for the second cycle. These diplomas should count as an added advantage when looking for part-time jobs as teachers or administrators in other education-oriented institutions within the country.
l Thirdly and most importantly, gaining entrance into H.T.T.C. Bambili offers you a job automatically upon completion of the 3 years program offered in the first cycle of the institution. This seems to be the main reason why many graduates and High school leavers prefer to enroll in the competitive exams into this school in large numbers.
l One qualifies after the 2 years or 3 years of study in H.T.T.C. Bambili depending on the cycle you entered to teach in secondary schools as a classroom teacher with a maximum working hours load of 18 hours. This gives the teacher enough time to get involved with other beneficial activities like part-time in other institutions or starting a small business to supplement their monthly salary from the government of Cameroon.
l Being enrolled in H.T.T.C. Bambili means that you have the opportunity to meet more government officials and build relationships that may be of great importance in the future. Also, a good portfolio will earn you recognition by the state's powers that may make you grants and even awards for a job well done.
l Being a graduate from H.T.T.C Bambili makes you automatically a civil servant after submitting all the necessary documents, making you entitled to a monthly salary until your day of retirement when you start receiving a retirement benefit, which is one-third of your normal salary monthly. This puts you at a greater disposition to collect huge sums of money loans, which can be used to invest in a lucrative business for greater returns.
l Being a civil servant also puts you in a better position to better plan your future, especially your retirement, to be as comfortable as possible during your old age.
l The last and not the least advantage of gaining admission into H.T.T.C. Bambili is that it builds in you the spirit of patriotism that is beneficial to you and butt to the country as a whole.
Finally, some people should not make it because it's a competitive exam. If you fall within this group, I urge you to take heart and continue with your education while trying the exam again the next launching season. Better still, you can invest your money in a small business while waiting for the next launch so that you can run the business while teaching, which is allowed. I wish you good luck if you intend to write the competitive entrance exam this year.
