  • Capacity Building of CBET Curricula Developers, Verifiers, and Assessors using the National CBET Manual and CBETA Standards Consultancy Services to Facilitate Development of 5 Curricula in the Maritime Sector Training of 70 TVET Trainers on Digital Content Pedagogy and Didactics

    Capacity Building of CBET Curricula Developers, Verifiers, and Assessors using the National CBET Manual and CBETA Standards Consultancy Services to Facilitate Development of 5 Curricula in the Maritime Sector Training of 70 TVET Trainers on Digital Content Pedagogy and Didactics

    Rationale of the Assignment

    Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) is a structured approach to training and assessment that is directed toward achieving specific outcomes. It is about assisting individuals to acquire knowledge, skills and right attitudes with a view to performing a task to a specified standard under certain conditions. The emphasis in competency-based training is on “performing” rather than just “knowing”. Competency is defined in terms of what a person is required to do (performance), the conditions under which it is to be done (environment) and how well it is to be done (standards). This can only be achieved by use of appropriate training methods that are practical oriented
    The skills development system in Kenya has been following a curriculum based on time-bound approach rather than demand driven approach. The summative evaluation in most of the courses through institutional based and end of school examination cycle is based on a centralized standard curriculum. The cycle does not adequately measure trainees’ ability and dictates training/learning process towards examinations as opposed to assessment of the attainment of skills and competencies.
    In response to the changing industry demands and increasing diversity of trainee needs, a fundamental redesign of the curriculum is necessary. Hence, the formulation and development of CBET Framework that forms the foundation for the new curriculum by the government of Kenya.
    As part of Technical assistance to the GoK, the ILO in Partnership with TVETA developed CBET manual to be used for capacity building of the Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) practitioners for effective implementation of CBET programmes as well as aligning to Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) as offered in Basic Education. This consultancy therefore seeks the services of a qualified TVET practitioner to support in building the capacity of key CBET curricula developers, verifiers and assessors in Kenya.

    The Assignment has the following specific objectives:

    To improve the capacity of TVET practitioners to deliver Competency based Education and Training Curricula.
