Assessment and Certification

The central aim of Technical and Vocational education and Training (TVET) programmes is to provide graduates with the competences necessary to do specific jobs, and alongside the competences, the certification which assures employers and other stakeholders that graduates have those competences. However, before a learner is certified/awarded a certificate he/she must be assessed. Assessment is organized around assessment criteria specified in the respective curriculum. Assessment helps to determine how much students have progressed in acquiring competencies necessary for their future profession. Assessment also plays a vital role in assuring the quality of education in a technical institution.
