DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR A SINGER

DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR A SINGER

The Occupational Profile (OP) of a SINGER. This Occupational

Profile which was reviewed by Singers practicing in the world of work mirrors
the duties and tasks that Singers are expected to perform.

0.2 PART II: Training Modules in the form of guidelines to train Singers both on
the job as well as in training centres (or combinations of both venues of
learning). The Training Modules herein have been reviewed basing on the
Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant for employment.

0.3 PART III: Assessment Instruments in the form of performance (Practical) and
written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether a
person complies with the requirements of employment as a SINGER. These
assessment instruments were reviewed jointly by job practitioners (Singers)
and instructors based on the occupational profile and training modules.

0.4 While the Occupational Profile (OP) contained in PART I of this document
provides the information on WHAT a person is expected to do competently in
the world of work, the test items, – including performance criteria- of PART III
qualify the HOW and/or HOW WELL a person must do the job.

0.5 The modular format of the curriculum (PART II) allows learners to acquire job
specific skills and knowledge (i.e. competencies) module by module. A single
module can be accomplished within a relatively short duration allowing flexibility
for learners to move directly into an entry level job, go for further modules or
advance to higher levels of training. Modular courses allow more learners to
access the training system because training centres as well as companies can
accommodate more learners in a given period of time.

0.6 In addition to improved access, equity and relevance of BTVET, the UVQF will

also enable people who are convinced to have acquired competencies laid
down in this ATP through prior training and on-the-job experience to access
assessment and certification directly; be it on the basis of a single module, a
group of modules or all modules pertaining to the occupation at once. This
achievement will facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
