Model Curriculum
1. Preface
The revised Ethiopian TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the
labour market and occupational requirements of the work world of as the benchmark and
standard for TVET delivery. The requirements from the work world are analyzed and documented
taking into account international benchmarking as Ethiopian Occupational Standards (EOS).
In the reformed Ethiopian TVET-System, Curricula and Curriculum Development play an
important role with regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate the
learning process in a way, that trainees acquire the set of occupational competencies (skills,
knowledge and attitude (SAK)) required at the working place and defined in the Ethiopian
Occupational Standards (EOS). Responsibility for Curricula and Curriculum Development will be
given to the Regional TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.
This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from Governmental TVET Collages
based on the Ethiopian Occupational Standard Intermediate Animal Health Services. It has the
character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the occupational
requirements as defined in the respective Ethiopian Occupational Standard into an adequate
curriculum.
TVET-Program Design.
1.1. TVET-Program Title: Intermediate Animal Health Services LIII.
1.2. TVET-Program Description
The Program is designed to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude of the trainees to
the standard required by the OS. The contents of this program are in line with the Occupational
Standard (OS). Trainees who successfully completed the Program will be qualified to work as an
Intermediate Animal Health Services technician with competencies listed in the respective OS.
Graduates of the Program will have the required qualification to work in the Agricultural sector
in the field of Intermediate Animal Health Services.
The primary objective of this training program is to equip the trainees with the identified
competences specified in the EOS. Graduates are therefore expected to Apply Basic Animal
Husbandry Practices, Identify animal diseases, Assist in Clinical activities, Assist in Basic
laboratory Techniques and procedures, Implement animal diseases prevention and control
activities, Capture, Restrain and Handle Animals, Assist in Animal quarantine operations,
Maintain and monitor environmental work practices , Respond to Emergencies, Apply quality
control , Lead Workplace Communication, Lead Small Teams and Improve Business Practice in
accordance with the performance criteria described in the EOS.

*The time duration (Hours) indicated for the module should include all activities in school and
off campus training.
Institutional Assessment
Four types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which learning outcomes are
achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them, verifiable
and observable indicators and standards shall be used the formative assessment is incorporated in
the learning modules and form part of the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the
trainee with feedback regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies
the specific learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful
performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator, formative evaluation provides information for
making instruction and remedial work more effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in the unit of
competence have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been
achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall be expressed in the term ‘competent or
not yet competent’.
Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include oral or written
test, demonstration and field observation.
