The aim of NCT is to develop workers that can appreciate the practical, social and ethical aspects of their chosen works, with the skills and competence to do their jobs effectively in the emerging culturally diverse workplaces within the changing contexts in the country.
In order to realize this, NCT is constantly polishing an educational model anchored on the holistic concept of learning. It tries to combine the intellectual requirements of disciplinary knowledge and the outcomes of application-based tasks with personal skills, ideas and approaches developed through engagement with actual practice in the industries and the community.
NCT supports and enhances teaching and learning through a flexible and dynamic approach which is expressed through stimulating teaching, the effective use of technology and an information-rich environment.
Aside from the more traditional curriculum practices, many NCT students experience diverse complementary activities in extra-curricular learning in the community, workplace and other organizations.
NCT shows its commitment to the betterment of quality teaching and learning through recognition of good teaching practice, academic staff development activities and other improvements obtained from feedback surveys and an annual review of performance.
