Agricultural Engineering Level 6 trainees use Digital Literacy to run farm and workshop tasks on a computer, protect their data and find work online. You start with computer hardware and software, the operating system, mouse and keyboard techniques, files and folders, and connecting to the internet and external devices. Word processing, spreadsheets and electronic presentations are applied to workplace tasks. Internet search, downloads and backups come next, followed by netiquette, email, copyright and licences, and online collaboration tools. Cybersecurity covers data protection, threats and the laws on ICT in Kenya. The last outcomes deal with online jobs, payment accounts, CVs and interviews.
At Level 6 this unit supports the reporting, costing and communication that senior technicians and supervisors carry out every day. - Survey and design offices serving county governments - you prepare reports and bills of quantities in word processors and spreadsheets and share files with colleagues using collaboration tools. - Agricultural training institutions in Njoro - you prepare lesson notes and presentations, manage online records and support students with digital tasks. - Dairy and horticulture farms in Naivasha - you track machine maintenance and running costs in worksheets and keep backups of farm records. - Remote consulting work - you use online job platforms, a professional profile and secure payment accounts to offer drafting or data services to clients outside your town. - Seed and input dealerships in Kericho - you handle email orders, copyright-aware marketing material and customer data under privacy rules. Strong digital habits also help you pass interviews and show evidence of your work.
