Acknowledgement
The Ministry of Labor and Skills wishes to thank and appreciation for the trainers who
donated their effort and time to develop this outcome-based curriculum for the TVET
program industrial electrical/electronic Control Technology. We also thank coordinators and

Preface
The reformed TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the labor
market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark and standard
for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed and documented –
taking into account international benchmarking – as occupational standards (OS).
In the reformed TVET-System, curricula and curriculum development play an important role
with regard to quality driven comparable TVET-Delivery. The Curricula help to facilitate the
training process in a way, that trainees acquire the set of occupational competences (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the occupational
standards (OS).
This curriculum has been developed by a group of professional experts from different
Regional TVET Bureaus, colleges, Industries, Institutes and universities based on the
occupational standard for Plumbing Installation Level III.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by Ministry
of Labor and Skills.

1.1 TVET-Program Title: Plumbing Installation Level III
1.2 TVET-Program Description
The Program is designed to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude of the
trainees to the standard required by the occupation. The contents of this program are in line
with the occupational standard. The Trainees who successfully completed the Program will
be qualified to work as a Technician with competencies elaborated in the respective OS.
Graduates of the program will have the required qualification to work in the EIS sector in the
field of plumbing installation.
The prime objective of this training program is to equip the Trainees with the identified
competences specified in the OS. Graduates are therefore expected to Prepare working
drawing , Perform CAD Operation, Prepare Bill of Quantities, Plan layout of a residential
sanitary system , Install water pump sets , Connect and install storage tanks to a domestic
water supply, Install service and maintain Fire Hydrant and Hose Reel Installation Systems,
Install service and maintain Residential Fire Protection Sprinklers, Install control valve
assemblies, actuating devices and local alarms, Install below ground sanitary drainage
systems and Fit off and commission heated and cold water services in accordance with the
performance criteria and evidence guide described in the OS.
1.3 TVET-Program Training Outcomes

1.4 Duration of the TVET-Program

The Program will have duration of 1020 hours including the on school/ Institution training
and on-the-job practice or cooperative training time. Such cooperative training based on
realities of the industry, nature of the occupation, location of the TVET institution, and other
factors will be considered in the training delivery to ensure that trainees acquire practical and
workplace experience.

1.5 Qualification Level and Certification
Based on the descriptors elaborated on the Ethiopian National TVET Qualification
Framework (NTQF) the qualification of this specific TVET Program is Level III
The trainee can exit after successfully completing the modules in one level and will be
awarded the equivalent institutional certificate on the level completed. However, only
institutional certificate of training accomplishment will be awarded.
1.6 Target Groups

Any citizen who meets the entry requirements under items 1.7 and capable of participating in
the training activities is entitled to take part in the Program.
1.7 Entry Requirements

The prospective participants of this program are required to possess the requirements or
directive of the Ministry of Labor and Skills.
1.8 Mode of Delivery

This TVET-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical skills.
The mode of delivery is co-operative training. The time spent by the trainees in the real work
place/ industry will give them enough exposure to the actual world of work and enable them
to get hands-on experience.
The co-operative approach will be supported with school-based lecture-discussion, simulation

and actual practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are exposed to the
industry environment.
Hence based on the nature of the occupation, location of the TVET institutions, and interest
of the industry alternative mode of cooperative training such as apprenticeships, internship
and traineeship will be employed. In addition, in the areas where industry is not sufficiently
available the established production and service centers/learning factories in TVET
institutions will be used as cooperative training places. The Training-Institution and identified
companies have forged an agreement to co-operate with regard to the implementation of this
program.

1.9 Institutional Assessment
Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which training outcomes
are achieved. The specific training outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them,
Verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.
The formative assessment is incorporated in the training modules and form part of the
Training process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback regarding success
or failure in attaining training outcomes. It identifies the specific training errors that need to
be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well. For the teacher,
formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial work more
effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in the
program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been
achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall be expressed in the term of
institutional Assessment implementation guidelines.
Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include oral or
written test, demonstration and on-site observation.
