The Archaeology Department, Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur introduced a six month Certificate Course on Conservation of Cultural Heritage of Sindh. In pursuance of the aims and objectives of the EFT, the Board of Trustees in its 3rd meeting held on August 7, 2010 agreed to provide financial assistance for the project. The course covered both theoretical and practical aspects. The course disseminated terminologies, methodologies for collecting data and understanding / deliberating reports on significant works.

Two types of disciplines were taught:
