Certification procedures are conducted to measure competency-based performance against competency standards Because of the modular approach to training and assessment, individuals can acquire certification for learning and demonstration of competence. Individuals must provide evidence that they have the ability to perform work activities to the standards required in employment.
The Enterprise Based Training (EBT) Programme works with employers and private and public sector organizations to enhance the levels of productivity of the workforce through improved worker competence.
The NTA is responsible for the accreditation of TVET training centres. A Centre Approval Policy was developed in line with CANTA regulations as a guide for the delivery of services leading to CVQ and NVQ certification.
The Community Based Training Programme seeks to support training and certification at the community level. This can include programmes offered by NGOs, church groups and community organizations.
Assessment of Prior Learning is a process which involves the identification, documentation and assessment of learning acquired through formal, non-formal and informal experiences. This includes work and life experiences, training, independent study, hobbies and family experiences.
