Act No. 9 of 1997 empowers the Council “to establish awards in technical education which are consistent in standard and comparable to related awards at national and international levels”.
NACTE awards are known as National Technical Awards (NTA) and adopt a Competence-based (CBET) modular system (credit-based).
The Council has to set qualifications standards for the awards, hence the objectives.
The NTA are designed to testify that the holder of the award is able to apply competently the knowledge and skills described in the relevant occupational sector.
The NTA system has seven levels linked to a three level system of VETA, known as National Vocational Training Awards (NVTA), to provide a ten level framework of Technical and Vocational (TVET) qualifications.
Each NTA qualification has a broad competence level descriptor.
