DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR AN EMCEE

DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR AN EMCEE

The “Occupational Profile” (OP) of an EMCEE. This Occupational Profile
which was reviewed by EMCEE practicing in the world of work, mirrors the duties and
tasks EEMCEEEEs are expected to perform in the world of work.

1.2 PART II: “Training Modules” in the form of guidelines to train EMCEEs both on the
job as well as in training centres (or combinations of both venues of learning). The
Training Modules herein have been reviewed basing on the Occupational Profile and
hence are directly relevant for employment.

1.3 PART III: “Assessment Instruments” in the form of performance (Practical) and
written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether a person
complies with the requirements of employment as an EMCEE. These assessment
instruments were developed jointly by job practitioners (EMCEE) and teachers based
on the occupational profile and training modules

1.4 While the Occupational Profile (OP) contained in PART I of this document provides
the information on WHAT a person is expected to do competently in the world of
work, the test items, -including performance criteria- of PART III qualify the HOW
and/or HOW WELL a person must do the job.

In combination, both parts -the OP and the test items- constitute the relevant
‘Assessment STANDARDS’ for competence-based assessment and certification for
acquiring a credible Qualification for – EMCEE Qualification Level 1.

0.5 The modular format of the curriculum (PART II) allows learners to acquire job specific
skills and knowledge (i.e. competencies) module by module. A single module can be
accomplished within a relatively short duration of time allowing flexibility for learners
to move directly into an entry level job, go for further modules or advance to higher
levels of training. Modular courses allow more learners to access the training system
because training centers as well as companies can accommodate more students in
a given period of time.

0.6 In addition to improved access, equity and relevance of BTVET, the UVQF will also
enable people who are convinced to have acquired competencies laid down in this
ATP through prior training and on-the-job experience to access assessment and
certification directly; be it on the basis of a single module, a group of modules or all

In this document, only sample test items for assessing (practical) performance and occupational knowledge (theory)
are included. A larger selection of test items can be obtained from an electronic Test Item Bank at Directorate of
Industrial Training
