Preface
The reformed TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the labor
market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark and standard
for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed and documented –
taking into account international benchmarking – as occupational standards (OS).
In the reformed TVET-System, curricula and curriculum development play an important role
with regard to quality driven comparable TVET-Delivery. The Curricula help to facilitate the
training process in a way, that trainees acquire the set of occupational competences (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the occupational
standards (OS).
This curriculum has been developed by a group of professional experts from different
Regional TVET Bureaus, colleges, Institutes and universities based on the occupational
standard for Hardware and Networking Service Level I.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by Ministry
of Labor and Skills.
The prime objective of this training program is to equip the Trainees with the identified
competences specified in the OS. Graduates are therefore expected to Connect Hardware
Peripherals, Operate Personal Computer, Protect Application or System Software, Install
Software Application, Develop Computer Keyboard Skill, Create and Use Spreadsheet,
Maintain Equipment and Software Inventory and Documentation, Identify and Use Network
Hand Tools, Access and Use Internet, and Apply 5S Procedures in accordance with the
performance criteria and evidence guide described in the OS.
The trainee can exit after successfully completing the modules in one level and will be
awarded the equivalent institutional certificate on the level completed. However, only
institutional certificate of training accomplishment will be awarded.
Hence based on the nature of the occupation, location of the TVET institutions, and interest
of the industry alternative mode of cooperative training such as apprenticeships, internship
and traineeship will be employed. In addition, in the areas where industry is not sufficiently
available the established production and service centers/learning factories in TVET
institutions will be used as cooperative training places. The Training-Institution and identified
companies have forged an agreement to co-operate with regard to the implementation of this
program.
*The time duration (Hours) indicated for the module should include all activities in and out of the TVET institution.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in the
program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been
achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall be expressed in the term of
institutional Assessment implementation guidelines..
Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include oral or
written test, demonstration and on-site observation.
