 Ladderization
• refers to all education and training
mechanisms that allow students and
workers progression between
Technical Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) and Higher Education
(HE) or college and vice-versa.
• intends to create a seamless and
borderless education and training
system that will allow you mobility in
terms of flexible entry and exit into
the educational system.
 Modalities of Ladderization
1. Credit Transfer- recognition & carrying
forward of overlapping learning from a
TVET* program to a Higher Education degree
2. Embedded TVET Qualification in a
Ladderrized Degree Program - a scheme by
which the TVET content in the relevant higher
education or bachelor degree program are
mapped or identified and the curriculum is
restructured to provide TVET exit points. The
units of competencies in the TVET qualification
are usually clustered together to allow for
early attainment of a TVET qualification.
*TVET – Technical Vocational Education and
Training
