Objective
The course aims at given students a good grasp of the concepts, rules and
principles for engineering services in next generation networks. Value added
services or more simply services are anything that goes beyond two party voice
calls. They are critical to the success and survival of next generation service
providers.

using them – just having them is an offence
- Copy from
someone’s else exam
- Communicate
with another student during an exam
- Add or remove
pages from an examination booklet or take the booklet out of an exam room
- Acquire exam or
assignment answers or questions
