Ethiopia has embarked on a process of reforming its TVET-System. Within the policies and
strategies of the Ethiopian Government, technology transformation – by using international
standards and international best practices as the basis, and, adopting, adapting and verifying
them in the Ethiopian context – is a pivotal element. TVET is given an important role with
regard to technology transfer. The new paradigm in the outcome-based TVET system is the
orientation at the current and anticipated future demand of the economy and the labor market.
The Ethiopian Occupational Standards (EOS) are - a core element of the Ethiopian National
TVET-Strategy and an important factor within the context of the National TVET-
Qualification Framework (NTQF).They are national Ethiopian standards, which define the
occupational requirements and expected outcome related to a specific occupation without
taking TVET delivery into account.
This document details the mandatory format, sequencing, wording and layout for the
Ethiopian Occupational Standard comprised of Units of Competence.
A Unit of Competence describes a distinct work activity. It is documented in a standard
format that comprises:
Occupational title, NTQF level
Unit code
Unit title
Unit descriptor
Evidence guide
Together all the parts of a Unit of Competence guide the assessor in determining whether the
candidate is competent.
The ensuing sections of this EOS document comprise a description of the respective
occupation with all the key components of a Unit of Competence:
the chart with an overview of all Units of Competence for the respective occupation
(Unit of Competence Chart) including the Unit Codes and the Unit of Competence
titles
the contents of each Unit of Competence – this includes further directions on the
contents and format of the unit of competence
