Ethiopian TVET System
Model Curriculum
Preface
The reformed Ethiopian 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).
This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from different regional TVET-
Authorities based on the Occupational Standard for Information Technology Services Level IV.
It has the character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the
occupational requirements as defined in the respective Occupational Standard into an
adequate curriculum.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by the
Ministry of Education – in line with one of its mandates to provide technical support to the
regions – and by the TVET-Reform Component of the Engineering Capacity Building Program.
1. TVET-Program Design
1.1 TVET-Program Title: Information Technology Services Level IV
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 be able to build
internet infrastructure, determine suitability of database functionality and scalability, monitor
and support data conversion, apply object-oriented programming language skills, develop
website information architecture, determine maintenance strategy, contribute to the
development of strategy, assist with policy development for client support, plan and organize
work, establish quality standards, develop team and individuals, utilized specialized
communication skills and manage and maintain SME business operations.
The trainee can exit after successfully completing any Learning Module from this program and
will be awarded the equivalent institutional certificate on the completed learning modules.
Eentry point will be on next Learning Module as appropriate
Other requirements:
ability to speak, read and understand English
computer literate
The cooperative approach will be supported with lecture-discussion, simulation and actual
practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are exposed to the industry
environment.
The 320 hours or 16% of the program duration will be spent in cooperative training and it will
only start after the trainee successfully completed all the modules in this program.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of
the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the Trainee with feedback
regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific
learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful
performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator, 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 unit of competence 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 ‘competent or not yet competent’.
Other requirements –
have a good moral character
physically and mentally fit
have attended relevant training and seminars
