description:

SKILLED supported NAITA to scale up an existing programme that offers trade persons the opportunity to gain National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) certification of their skills through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) testing and certification. Project support consisted of funding an awareness raising campaign at the sub-district level targeting mainly the self-employed in areas such as construction (plumbers, electricians, and masons), tailoring, and food processing and pre-school teaching. The project covered NAITA fees for certification and in some cases, procured equipment to be used by candidates in NAITA centres for the certification exam. According to participants, the awareness raising programme was critical in informing them about the potential to be certified. The support covering their fees was a strong incentive to participate.
