The programme provides both theoretical and practical training on key areas such as environment and health, communicable diseases, and mosquito control measures, helping learners develop essential skills for disease prevention and public health promotion. With increasing challenges related to mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and chikungunya, this programme equips learners with the knowledge and competence needed to contribute effectively to community health initiatives.

Learners are trained to understand environmental health issues, identify sources of pollution, manage waste, and implement mosquito eradication methods through practical fieldwork. Classes and practical sessions are conducted during weekends and public holidays, making the programme accessible to both students and working individuals.

By completing this course, learners become capable of supporting public health campaigns, local governance initiatives, and community-based health programmes. The Certificate in Mosquito Eradication and Community Health thus offers a meaningful pathway for those committed to improving public health and creating a cleaner, healthier living environment.
