 PREFACE
1. The Basic Training under Block – I & Block - II are designated as module – I &
module – II respectively.
2. The basic Modules (module – I & module – II) of the designated trades have
been developed to fulfill the requirement of Basic Training under Apprenticeship
Training.
3. Basic Module – I is of 03 months duration and after successful completion of the
module, the trainee will be eligible for On Job Training of duration 09 months in
industries to complete Block – I of Apprenticeship Training.
4. Basic Module – II is also of 03 months duration and candidate will be eligible to
join the module – II only after successful completion of (03+09 months) training
duration of Block – I.
5. The sequence of training should be such that Basic Module – II should be taken
up after completion of Basic Module – I & 09 months of On Job Training for
better understanding.
6. The courses are designed especially for Apprenticeship Training and NSQF
compliance certificate in the specific trade will be issued only after successful
completion of Basic Module – I & II and On Job Training of both the blocks.
7. Assessment of Basic module will be conducted as per the pattern of MES
modules in practice. Separate certificate will be issued for each module after
successful completion of course & clearing the assessment. Rebate of 03 months
duration of Apprenticeship training period will be provided against each module
for the period of basic training.
