Electrical and Electronics Engineering with Education trains you to become a qualified TVET teacher specializing in electrical and electronics technology. You'll build genuine technical mastery in circuits, wiring, and electronic systems alongside the teaching methods needed to train future electricians and technicians.
Program objectives
- 01Build genuine technical competence in electrical and electronics engineering.
- 02Learn how to teach electrical and electronics subjects effectively at the TVET level.
- 03Understand Competency-Based Training (CBT) methods used in Ghana's technical education system.
- 04Get hands-on teaching practice through supervised placements in technical institutions.
Why choose this program
Trains you for a genuinely needed teaching specialization
Ghana's growing technical and vocational education sector needs qualified teachers who understand both electrical technology and how to teach it well.
Combines technical mastery with a stable teaching career
You get real electrical and electronics engineering knowledge alongside the structure and security of a teaching profession.
Trained at Ghana's leading TVET teacher education institution
AAMUSTED (formerly UEW-Kumasi) has decades of specific experience training technical education teachers for exactly this kind of role.
Skills you'll build
- Electrical circuit and wiring systems
- Electronics fundamentals and troubleshooting
- TVET-specific teaching pedagogy
- Competency-Based Training (CBT) methodology
- Clear technical explanation ability
- Patience with hands-on skill instruction
- Classroom and workshop management
- Strict safety-consciousness
Tools & software
- Electrical and electronics workshop tools and testing equipment
- Basic circuit design and planning tools
Challenges to expect
Academic
- Requires genuine mastery of electrical and electronics technical content alongside a separate set of teaching and pedagogy skills.
Technical
- Electrical work carries real safety risk, so teaching it safely requires genuine, disciplined technical competence.
Tips from the field
- Take electrical safety training extremely seriously -- careless practice carries real shock and fire risk, and instilling good safety habits in students starts with your own discipline.
- Build genuine hands-on wiring and troubleshooting skills, not just theory -- TVET students and employers expect real technical credibility from their instructors.
- Get comfortable with Competency-Based Training (CBT) methods early, since this is now the standard teaching approach across Ghana's technical education system.
Career paths
- Electrical and electronics technology teacher (TVET)
- Technical institute instructor
- Curriculum developer (electrical technology education)
- Electrical training coordinator
- Technical college administrator

FAQs
Is this the same as the standalone Electrical & Electronics Engineering degree?+
No. This program is specifically designed to prepare you as a teacher of electrical and electronics technology within Ghana's TVET system, combining technical content with teaching pedagogy, rather than preparing you for direct industry engineering practice.
Do I need to pass a licensing exam to teach?+
Yes, like other education graduates, you'll need to pass the Ghana Teacher Licensure Exam (GTLE) and register with the National Teaching Council.
Where can I study this in Ghana?+
AAMUSTED (Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development), formerly UEW-Kumasi, offers this program in Kumasi.
Is electrical work dangerous to teach?+
It carries real risk if done carelessly, which is why strict safety training is a core, non-negotiable part of both the technical and teaching components of this program.
Will I need to wear protective equipment during training?+
Yes, proper safety gear and adherence to electrical safety protocols are mandatory during all practical sessions, both for your safety and to model good practice for future students.
