Introduction
The Ethiopian Occupational Standards (EOS) are - a core element of the Ethiopian
National TVET-Strategy and an important factor within the context of the Ethiopian
TVET-Qualification Framework (ETQF).They are national Ethiopia standards, which
define the occupational requirements and expected outcome related to a specific
occupation without taking TVET delivery into account.
This document details the mandatory format, sequencing, wording and layout for the
Ethiopian Occupational Standard comprised of Units of Competence.
Together all the parts of a Unit of Competence guide the assessor in determining
whether the candidate is competent.
The ensuing sections of this EOS document comprise a description of the respective
occupation with all the key components of a Unit of Competence:
a chart with an overview of all Units of Competence for the respective
occupation (Unit of Competence Chart) including the Unit Codes and the Unit
of Competence titles
a template for a Unit of Competence (Unit of Competence Standard) – this
includes further directions on the contents and format of the unit of
competence
