DIAGNOSTICS CUP 2022 - Educational Sector

"Your institution could be the WAVA Diagnostic Cup Champion this year!" Remember this phrase?
On December 20, 2022, the maiden edition of the West African Vehicle Academy Diagnostics Cup was held at the Rana Motors Building Block C.

The competition started and ended with eight (8) competitors across different schools and institutions: Ghana Armed Forces Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Sector, Government Technical Training Centre (GTTC), Accra Technical University (ATU), Tema Technical University, and Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC).

The contest elapsed for 6 hours, with the competition designed in two (2) folds. The Knowledge test and the Practical test —three (3) hours for each fold

The facilitator for the day was Joshua Sackey, a junior trainer from the West African Vehicle Academy (WAVA). It was a very great start for Wisdom Kwame Anane from the Accra Technical University (ATU) leading the tally, followed by Philip Yaw Kudayah from the Ghana Technical Training Centre (GTTC) and Amos Kofi Banyeh from the Ghana Armed Forces—Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, which gave them a comfortable lead before the lunch break.

As we got closer to the end of the contest with one more test to face, the margins got very close, with Amos Kofi Banyeah taking the lead, followed by Donald Dodzi Hogger from Ghana Armed Forces—Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Wisdom Anane followed up closely, as did Philip Yaw Kudayah, not forgetting Nicolas Aryeetey from the Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC), who sprinted to the top 5.

The competition ended with the top 3 maintaining their spots.
Amos from the Ghana Armed Forces' Electrical and Mechanical Engineering sector won the contest; the 1st runner-up was Donald Dodzi Hogger, also from the Ghana Armed Forces' Electrical and Mechanical Engineering sector; and the 2nd runner-up was Wisdom Kwame Anane from Accra Technical University.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in this contest, our trainers who made the event a smooth success, and our partners: the German Development Cooperation (GIZ Ghana), Rana Motors, and Robert Bosch Ghana, for sponsoring this event.

Thanks to everyone, the maiden edition of the WAVA Diagnostics Cup 2022 was a success.

Congratulations! Amos Kofi Banyeh.
See you next year.
