The government ICT training institute in the ICT Tower at Agargaon: evening courses in programming, data science and cyber security from ৳5,000.
BKIICT is the training arm of the Bangladesh Computer Council, the government's ICT agency, and teaches from the ICT Tower at Agargaon. Its short courses are priced for ordinary people rather than companies, and most run in the evening so they fit around a working day.
The programme covers office applications, Python, web design and development, mobile apps with Flutter, data science and machine learning, data analytics, cyber security and Oracle databases, plus hardware and networking — a course now on its 64th batch. There is exam preparation for certifications such as ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and Certified Ethical Hacker, and an afternoon robotics course for juniors.
Registration is online, and closes a few days before each batch starts. A few courses are reserved for government officials.
