Damboya, 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
manufacturing technology Level III.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by DAMBOYA
CONSTRUCTION & INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE
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 Perform Engineering
Detail Drafting by using CAD, Perform Geometric Development, Perform Gas Metal Arc
Welding (GMAW), Perform Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Perform Manual and
precisions Assembly, Perform Machine, equipment Plant Installation and commission,
Maintain and Repair Industrial Electrical Machines drive and Components, Install and
Maintain Basic Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems, Install Electrical Measuring Instruments
and Control Devices and Apply protective coatings in accordance with the performance
criteria and evidence guide described in the OS.
1.3. TVET-Program Training Outcomes
The expected outputs of this program are the acquisition and implementation of the following
units of competences:
IND MCS3 01 1221 Perform Engineering Detail Drafting by using CAD
IND MCS3 02 1221 Perform Geometric Development
IND MCS3 03 1221 Perform Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
IND MCS3 04 1221 Perform Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
IND MCS3 05 1221 Perform Manual and precisions Assembly
IND MCS3 06 1221 Perform Machine, equipment Plant Installation and commission
IND MCS3 07 1221 Maintain and Repair Industrial Electrical Machines
drive and Components
IND MCS3 08 1221 Install and Maintain Basic Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems
IND MCS3 09 1221 Install Electrical Measuring Instruments and Control Devices
IND MCS3 10 1221 Apply protective coatings.
The Program will have duration of 610 hours including the on school/ Institution training and on-the-
job practice or cooperative training time. Such cooperative training based on realities of the industry,
nature of the occupation, location of the TVET institution, and other factors will be considered in the
training delivery to ensure that trainees acquire practical and workplace experience.
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.
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.
