Mr. Saleh thanked Batelco management for inviting him to the graduation ceremony and hoped co-operation between Batelco and Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Institute of Technology will continue in the future.

“When we decided to conduct the HND, we approached Batelco training officials requesting their assistance to determine the specific requirements of the programme.
