Preface
The reformed TVT-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 TVT delivery. The requirements from the world of work is analyzed and documented
taking into account international benchmarking – as occupational standards (OS).
In the reformed TVT-System, curricula and curriculum development play an important role
with regard to quality driven comparable TVT-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 is developed by a group of professional experts from different Regional TVT
Bureaus, colleges, Industries, Institutes and universities based on the occupational standard
for railway transport operation Level III. The curriculum development process has been
actively supported and facilitated by Ministry of Labor and Skills.

1. TVT-Program Design
 TVT-Program Title: Transport operation -Level III
 TVT-Program Description
The Program is designed to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude of the
trainees to the standard required by the occupation. The contents of this program are in line
with the occupational standard. The Trainees who successfully completed the Program will
be qualified to work as an transport operation with competencies elaborated in the
respective OS. Graduates of the program will have the required qualification to work in the
Transport Sector in the field of Railway.
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 Develop Cooperative
Understanding, Identify Cooperative Marketing Environment, Develop Understanding of
Consumer Buying Behaviour, Develop Basic Understanding of transport operation and
Identify transport operation Opportunity in accordance with the performance criteria and
evidence guide described in the OS.

 Duration of the TVT-Program
The Program will have duration of 456 hours including the in-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 TVT institution, and other factors
will be considered in the training delivery to ensure that trainees acquire practical and
workplace experience.

N.B. The cooperative training time can be managed for implementations according to the
context of the training environments of the institution.
 Qualification Level and Certification

Qualification is a formal certificate issued by an official agency in recognition to that an
individual has been assessed as achieving learning outcomes or competencies to the standard

specified for the qualification title. A qualification confers official recognition of value in the
labour market and in further education and training. Based on the descriptors elaborated on
the Ethiopian National TVT Qualification Framework (NTQF) the qualification of this
specific TVT Program is Certificate Level III according to the level. The trainee will be
awarded transcript and the institutional certificate after successfully completing all the
modules in the level.
 Target Groups
Any citizen who meets the entry requirements under items 1.7 and capable of participating in
the training activities is entitled to take part in the Program.
 Entry Requirements
In principle everyone should be able to access training based on the labor market. Hence the
prospective participants of this program are any citizen who possesses the entry requirement
directive of the Ministry of Labor and Skills.
 Mode of Delivery
This TVT-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical skills. The
mode of training delivery is in the institution and co-operative training. Cooperative training
is a model of training by the cooperation of enterprises/industries and TVT institutions
whereby trainees spend much of their time in the enterprises/industries to acquire industrial
knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes of the industrial environment and the remaining
time in TVT institutions to acquire basic skills and theoretical concepts. Therefore, it is
necessary to make the TVT sector more effective by strengthening a system of cooperative
training accepted by the industry.
The program will employ different alternatives of cooperative training such as
apprenticeships, internship and traineeship based on the nature of the occupation, location of
the TVT institutions, and interest of the industry. In addition, in the areas where industry is
not sufficiently available the established production and service centers/learning factories in
TVT institutions will be used as cooperative training places. The Training-Institution and
identified companies should have to take an agreement to co-operate with regard to the
implementation of this program.

 Institutional Assessment
Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which training outcomes
are achieved. The specific training outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them,
verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.
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. Therefore, a trainee is required to earn at
least 60% to be theoretically qualified. This result should be 18% or more when converted to
30%. Regarding performance appraisal results, it must score at least 80% or at least 32% or
more when converted to 40%. Must cooperate at least 80% out of 100% in cooperative
training; When converted to 30%, it must register 24%.
 TVT Teachers Profile
The trainers conducting this particular TVT Program are A Level and above who have
satisfactory practical experiences or equivalent qualifications.

 Training and Assessment methodology
The program is delivered using a variety of training methods. The table below shows training and assessment methodology for non-impaired
trainees and with reasonable adjustment for impaired trainees. In addition, as per the nature of the module title the trainer can use recommended
