This Assessment and Training Package is a Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) tool and consists of three major parts: 0.1 PART I: The “Occupational Profile” (OP) of a WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPER. This Occupational Profile which was developed by Web application developers practicing in the world of work mirrors the duties and tasks Web application developers are expected to perform in the world of work. 0.2 PART II: “Training Modules” in the form of guidelines to train Web application developers both on the job as well as in training centers (or combinations of both venues of learning). The Training Modules herein have been developed basing on the Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant for employment. 0.3 PART III: “Assessment Instruments” in the form of performance (Practical) and written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether a person complies with the requirements of employment as a Web application developer. These assessment instruments were developed jointly by job practitioners (Web application developer) and teachers based on the occupational profile and training modules1. 0.4 While the Occupational Profile (OP) contained in PART I of this document provides the information on WHAT a person is expected to do competently in the world of work, the test items, -including performance criteria- of PART III qualify the HOW and/or HOW WELL a person must do the job. In combination, both parts -the OP and the test items- constitute the relevant ‘Assessment STANDARDS’ for competence-based assessment and certification for acquiring a credible Qualification for – Web application developer Qualification Level 1. 0.5 The modular format of the curriculum (PART II) allows learners to acquire job specific skills and knowledge (i.e. competencies) module by module. A single module can be accomplished within a relatively short duration of time allowing flexibility for learners to move directly into an entry level job, go for further modules or advance to higher levels of training. Modular courses allow more learners to access the training system because training centers as well as companies can accommodate more students in a given period of time. 0.6 In addition to improved access, equity and relevance of BTVET, the UVQF will also enable people who are convinced to have acquired competencies laid down in this ATP through prior training and on-the-job experience to access assessment and certification directly; be it on the basis of a single module.
