STRUCTURAL CONSTRUCTION
WORKS
LEVEL – III
CURRICULUM
Based on March, 2022 (Version- I) Occupational
standard (OS)
March, 2022
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
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 structural construction works Level III.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by Ministry
of Labor and Skills.

1.1 TVET-Program Title: structural construction works 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 structural construction Worker with competencies elaborated in the
respective OS. Graduates of the program will have the required qualification to work in the
Economic infrastructure sector in the field of structural construction work.
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 Use Computer Aided
Drafting Systems to Produce Basic Engineering Drawings, Prepare Bill of Quantities ,
Monitor Excavation, Construct masonry arches and Curved walls, Erect Stone, Memorials
and Monuments, Construct Wall Frames and Walls, Install and Decorate structural walls,
Conduct Concrete and Ingredient Testing, Erect/Install Pre-Cast Concrete Structures

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 Structural
construction work 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 with or without disability 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 Technician. 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

Level- I Level- I
companies have forged an agreement to co-operate with regard to the implementation of this
program.

1.10 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.
