Tshwane North TVET College Artisan Development Programme

Artisan development combines theoretical training at TVET colleges, practical training in workshops, and workplace experiential learning through learnership agreements. The National Artisan Moderation Body (NAMB) regulates trade testing and certification.

Seven Steps of Artisan Development

1. Career Guidance and Management

Prospective artisans receive information about trade occupation scope, industry activities, and progression pathways from basic artisan status through technician and engineering-related occupations. Effective career guidance ensures informed career choices.

2. General or Vocational or Fundamental Knowledge Learning

Artisan occupations require substantial foundational knowledge learned through basic schooling or vocational college. This supports the hand skills and practical abilities central to artisan work.

3. Learnership Agreement Registration and Contracting

Students find workplace-approved employers who enter learning programme agreements after completing theoretical training. Employers apply industry-specific selection processes to ensure learners suit the trade.

4. Occupational Knowledge and Practical Learning

Trade-specific knowledge contextualizes tasks like fault finding, manufacturing, repair, and servicing. Occupational knowledge includes mathematics, science, drawing, and technical language specific to the trade. Practical learning applies this knowledge in simulated training center settings.

5. Workplace Learning

Real competence develops when learners apply and transfer learning across workplace situations. Workplace learning exposes artisan learners to work ethics, safety protocols, responsibilities, and industry-standard quality performance.

6. Trade Testing and Recognition of Prior Learning

The Skills Development Act requires external final summative assessment (Trade Test) before certification as a qualified artisan. National Trade Test Regulations (Section 26D(5)) apply to all Trade Test Centers regardless of operator (private, government, or state-owned).

7. Assurance and Certification

The National Artisan Moderation Body (NAMB), under delegation from the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), issues only national artisan trade certificates. Sector-based trade certificates have been phased out. Visit www.nadsc.dhet.gov.za for artisan development information.
