KEY TERMS IN THE APPRENTICESHIP CURRICULA

1. Assessment strategy:
An assessment strategy sets out the way in which an awarding body will ensure that the assessments used for a qualification are appropriate for the aims
and outcomes of the qualification and ensure that assessment is valid, reliable, and fair. It ensures that the assessment tools which are used generate
sufficient evidence for all the assessable learning outcomes of the qualification. The strategy should include assessments which integrate different outcomes
and ensure that that the amount of assessment to be undertaken is manageable.

2. Assessable Outcomes
The knowledge, skills and/or aptitudes an individual has acquired because of formal, non-formal or informal learning are known as learning outcomes. In the
NSQF, qualifications are based on specific outcomes, accompanied by assessment criteria, which learners will have to demonstrate through a formal
assessment. These are called “assessable outcomes”.

3. Awarding body
An awarding body is the body which creates a qualification, sets the assessment norms for the qualification, and makes the final decision to award the
qualification and issue certificates to successful learners. Awarding bodies are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the qualification is offered by suitable
institutions or organizations and that no unjustified or fraudulent certificates are issued. They may also be called certifying bodies or certifying institutions

4. Level Descriptors
The levels of the NSQF are defined by statements of typical learning outcomes known as level descriptors. These are organized in X domains which represent
different kinds of learning outcome. These are: process, professional knowledge, professional skill, core skill, and responsibility. Each level requires more
complex knowledge, skills, and aptitudes. In the NSQF qualifications must be given a level by matching the assessable outcomes with the level descriptors.

5. NOS and QP
National Occupational Standards (NOS) or Occupational Standards (OS) defines one key function in a job role. NOS specify the standard of performance an
individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace. These Occupational Standards are combined to a set, which is called Qualification
Pack (QP).

6. NSQF
The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) organizes qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills, and aptitude. These levels are
defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal
learning.

7. Progression
In the NSQF, progression means going on from a qualification to work or further study. Progression pathways may lead from one qualification to other
qualifications at the same NSQF level or at a higher level. Sets of qualifications can be designed to ensure that individuals can easily move from qualification
to qualification in the Framework.

8. Qualification
In the NSQF, a qualification is the formal outcome of an assessment and validation process. A qualification is awarded when an awarding body determines
that an individual has achieved the assessable outcomes to the standards set in assessment criteria. Qualifications which meet the requirements of the NSQF
are entered in the National Qualifications Register. Evidence that qualifications meet these requirements is gathered in a Qualification File. Qualifications in
the NSQF will include modular employable skills certificates; Qualification Packs (QPs); Trade Certificates; apprenticeship qualifications; Technical Certificates
and Diplomas; general qualifications offered in a formal educational context; and degrees.

9. General Education
The general education component should adhere to the normal university standards. It should emphasis and offer courses which provide holistic
development.
The general education component of the curriculum will be decided by the Board of Studies of the concerned University / Autonomous College. This may also
include the course(s) which are supportive to core trade in addition to soft skills, IT skills, and language proficiency and literature.
