The National Council of Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), established on December 5, 2018, serves as a comprehensive regulatory body aimed at ensuring quality in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector.
It has taken over the roles previously held by the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and the former National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT).
The NCVET aims to foster robust industry connections and implement effective regulations for diverse stakeholders to enhance outcomes. It establishes standards for Awarding Bodies and Assessment Agencies, addressing the issues caused by multiple regulators and inconsistent norms that have led to quality and outcome challenges in training.
The NCVET's goal is to unify the fragmented regulatory system and infuse quality assurance throughout the entire vocational training value chain, thereby improving overall outcomes.
The principal functions of NCVET encompass:
- A. Recognition and regulation of Awarding Bodies (ABs), Assessment Agencies (AAs), and Skill-related Information Providers.
- B. Approval of qualifications in accordance with the NSQF (National Skills Qualification Framework).
- C. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Supervision of recognized entities.
- D. Facilitation of Grievance Redressal for the diverse stakeholders involved.
