Programme Overview

This Modular Assessment Guide has been prepared to guide training institutions preparing trainees for Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) assessment and the industry.

The syllabus for the National Certificate in Electrical Installation Systems and Maintenance has been divided into core modules and support modules. The core modules are flexible to allow free entry and exit of learners into the world of work after attaining employable skills.

Each core module is independent but emphasizes competences. The trainee can choose which module to begin with, depending on available resources and time to complete the training.

Upon completion of a core module, the trainee receives a certificate of competence for that module. A full National Certificate is awarded to those who successfully complete all modules.

Modularization of Assessment

Modular assessment aims to group skills and competencies into occupational packages. Completion of each package leads to a competence certificate, allowing trainees to seek employment or pursue more training as needed.

This structure helps trainees document their learning, supports re-entry into training at a later stage, and facilitates recognition of prior learning for experienced individuals joining the program.

The modular system also integrates essential cross-cutting skills through real work processes, ensuring graduates are holistically prepared for industry expectations.
