PREFACE
The Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) is an institution
created under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act Number 13 of 1998, as
amended by the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (Amendment) Act Number 11
of 2005.
The Act among other things provides that TEVETA shall:
(a) regulate and conduct national examinations and assessments relating to technical education,
vocational and entrepreneurship training;
(b) charge and collect fees in respect of examinations, assessments and other services provided by the
Authority;
(c) award certificates to persons who succeed in examinations and assessments undertaken under this
Act
(d) do all such things connected with or incidental to the functions of the Authority under this Act.
Through this mandate, the Assessment and Qualifications Division of TEVETA has developed Practical
Assessment Tool Kits to enable learners achieve the competences that are congruent with the demand of the
workplace tasks. These tool kits in part are also intended to ensure that similar conditions under which all
students in TEVET are assessed and examined apply wherever the course is undertaken in Zambia.
The Trainers shall work with the Learners to collect evidence of competence, using the benchmarks provided
by the unit standards. During the year, the Learners shall be required to undertake a series of practical
assessment tasks. It is the sum of all these assessments tasks that deems a Learner to be competent (or not).
This approach to assessment is not a one-off event but one that gives learners many opportunities to
demonstrate skill and allow for the capturing and recording of these demonstrations.
For the Learner to be deemed competent, they must demonstrate competency in every aspect of the practical
tasks being undertaken. It must however be understood by the Trainer that Competency does not mean
expert. It means that the candidate has attained sufficient skill and knowledge to perform the activity or
service to a degree and quality that is acceptable to the industry and the customer in a time within which a
competent person at the level could reasonably be expected to perform the task.
While this will be undertaken at institutional level, it is therefore envisaged that the Assessment principles of
VALIDITY, RELIABILITY, FAIRENESS and FLEXIBILITY shall at all times be adhered to.
