1. COURSE OVERVIEW

The Craft Instructor Training Scheme is operational since inception of the Craftsmen
Training Scheme. The first Craft Instructors’ Training Institute was established in 1948.
Subsequently, 6 more institutes namely, Central Training Institute for Instructors (now
called as National Skill Training Institute (NSTI)), NSTI at Ludhiana, Kanpur, Howrah,
Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad were established in 1960’s by DGT. Since then the CITS
course is successfully running in all the NSTIs across India as well as in DGT affiliated
institutes viz. Institutes for Training of Trainers (IToT). This is a competency based course of
one year duration. “Information Technology” CITS trade is applicable for Instructors of
“Information Technology” trade.

The main objective of Craft Instructor training programme is to enable Instructors

explore different aspects of the techniques in pedagogy and transferring of hands-on skills
so as to develop a pool of skilled manpower for industries, also leading to their career
growth & benefiting society at large. Thus promoting a holistic learning experience where
trainee acquires specialized knowledge, skills & develops attitude towards learning &
contributing in vocational training ecosystem.

This course also enables the instructors to develop instructional skills for mentoring
the trainees, engaging all trainees in learning process and managing effective utilization of
resources. It emphasizes on the importance of collaborative learning & innovative ways of
doing things. All trainees will be able to understand and interpret the course content in right
perspective, so that they are engaged in & empowered by their learning experiences and
above all, ensure quality delivery.

 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (CITS)

a) The Continuous Assessment(Internal) during the period of training will be done by

Formative Assessment Method to test competency of instructor with respect to assessment
criteria set against each learning outcomes. The training institute has to maintain an
individual trainee portfolio in line with assessment guidelines. The marks of internal
assessment will be as per the formative assessment template provided on
www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The Final Assessment will be in the form of Summative Assessment Method. The All
India Trade Test for awarding National Craft Instructor Certificate will be conducted by DGT
at the end of the year as per the guidelines of DGT. The learning outcome and assessment
criteria will be the basis for setting question papers for final assessment. The external
examiner during final examination will also check the individual trainee’s profile as detailed
in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial

barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while
undertaking the assessment. While assessing, the major factors to be considered are
approaches to generate solutions to specific problems by involving standard/non-standard
practices.

Due consideration should also be given while assessing for teamwork,

avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/waste as per procedure,

3
 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (CITS)

behavioral attitude, sensitivity to the environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity
towards OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising of the following:
