4.0 NATIONAL CERTIFICATION
Trainees who successfully complete all the courses/modules specified in the curriculum table and pass the
national examinations in the trade will be awarded the following certification:
PROGRAMME CERTIFICATE
Motor vehicle mechanics National Vocational Certificate
Assessments Fail, Pass, Credit or Distinction
This programme is expected to be in the form of session-based training courses of not less than to (9) nine
calendar months per session. The entire programme is made flexible into three Session Modules viz. NVC Part I,
NVC Part II and NVCIII (Final).
5.0 ACCREDITATION
The Certificate programme shall be accredited by the National Board for Technical Education before the
candidates can be awarded the National Vocational Certificates (NVC).Details about the process of accrediting a
programme for the award of the NVC can be obtained from:

6.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS
a. This curriculum is drawn in unit courses on modular basis.
b. In designing the units, the principle of the modular system has been adopted, thus making each of the
professional modules, when completed, enough to provide the student with operative skills, which can be
used for employment purposes or otherwise.
c. Institutions may, as required, add courses to the minimum guide curriculum
d. Teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises,
especially those in professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the
theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to practical in the ratio of 20:80
7.0 THE CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

The curriculum of all NVC programmes consists of three (3) main components, viz:
a. General education
b. Trade theory, Trade practice and related studies which account for minimum of 60% of the total contact
hours for the programme
c. Supervised Industrial Attachment which accounts for 20% of the total contact hours for the programme shall
be undertaken either at the middle or at the end of the session for each academic year.
.
8.0 DURATION
The three year programme comprises three (3) parts, each for one year (5) hours per day or 25 hours per week
and 14 weeks per term)
Note: 2 weeks is for evaluation and registration
