Adddis Abeba, Ethiopia

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, Industries, Institutes and universities based on
the
occupational standard for Accounting and Finance Level II.

The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by
Ministry
of Labor and Skills.

Based on the descriptors elaborated on the Ethiopian National TVET Qualification

Framework (NTQF) the qualification of this specific TVET Program is Level II.

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.

1.6. Target Groups

Any citizen with or without disability who meets the entry requirements under items
1.7
and capable of participating in the training activities is entitled to take part in
the Program.

1.7 Entry Requirements

The prospective participants of this program are required to possess the

requirements or
directive of the Ministry of Labor and Skills.

1.8 Mode of Delivery

This TVET-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical

skills.
The mode of delivery is co-operative training. The time spent by the trainees in
the real work
place/ industry will give them enough exposure to the actual world of work and
enable them
to get hands-on experience.

The co-operative approach will be supported with school-based lecture-discussion,

simulation
and actual practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are
exposed to the
industry environment.

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.

Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which training
outcomes
are achieved. The specific training outcomes are stated in the modules. In
assessing them,
verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the training modules and form part of
the
training process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback regarding
success
or failure in attaining training outcomes. It identifies the specific training
errors that need to
be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well. For
the teacher,
formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial work
more
effective.

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.
