QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 December 2020
For award and recognition of certificates, the BTVET Act, 2008 provides that:
(1) The Directorate and other examination boards established under the Act
shall award certificates and diplomas for Business, Technical or
Vocational Education and Training under the UVQF.
(3) The Certificates and Diplomas awarded under the Act shall be recognised
in the Uganda education system and by the labour market.
Under the TVET Implementation Standards 2020, the proposed new mandate of
the Directorate of Industrial Training shall be restricted to promoting the highest
standards in the quality and efficiency of industrial training in the country and
ensuring an adequate supply of properly trained manpower at all levels in the
industry and the world of work.
The Directorate has therefore produced this Assessment and Training Package
for use in implementing Competence-Based Education and Training
mechanisms.

UVQF: Assessment and Training Package (ATP) for an AEROBICS PRACTITIONER
QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 December 2020
The Kajubi Report (1989) and the Uganda Government White Paper on
Education Review (1992) emphasised that the Uganda Secondary School
Education should be vocationalised.
The World Bank Report on education in Uganda 2007 observed that although
Uganda was experiencing steady economic growth on one hand, the secondary
education curriculum was inadequately addressing the social and economic
needs of the country on the other. The Report further noted that it is not the very
top academic cadres that contribute most to the growth of the GDP but rather the
competent middle level technicians that are flexible and technologically literate
that the economy needs in the labour market at all levels.
Correspondingly, the NDP III 2020/21- 2024/5 highlights (i) low labour productivity
(ii) high youth unemployment (38%) (iii) low transition rates from training to
employment (35%) as some of the key challenges to Human Capital
Development in Uganda.
In order to overcome these challenges, NDP III 2020/21- 2024/5, under objective
2 peaks the need to train the learners for the urgently needed skills and
mainstream a dual education and training system. This paved way for the
development of the lower secondary school vocational curriculum which supports
both academic and vocational training.
The afore is in line with the Uganda Vision 2040. Under section 261, it
emphasises that learners will be accorded opportunities to excel in the skills
areas they are placed into. These will range from sports and cut to technical and
vocational training. Hitherto, section 262 clearly states that the entire education
system will be changed to emphasise practical skills, attitude and moral values.
Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Education and Sports rolled out
the New Lower Secondary Curriculum in secondary schools countrywide during
the first term of the academic year 2020. The overall goal of this curriculum is to
produce graduates with employable skills and who are competitive in the labour
market. It should be emphasised that vocational training will produce graduates
who are employable. In the New curriculum, emphasis will be on equipping
learners with employable skills and competencies. This will enable learners
perform the requisite duties of the specified occupations. This is the reason why
the lower secondary school vocational curriculum was tailored to the assessment
requirements of the world of work.
Reading from the Curriculum Framework page 12, it is stated that the learners
will be assessed by DIT. Upon assessment and certification, the graduates will be
employable and competitive in the labour market. It’s against this background
that DIT, within its mandate vested in the BTVET Act, 2008 comes on board to
take the lead in the development of the requisite Assessment and Training
Packages (ATPs) for the various occupations that will be assessed under the
Lower Secondary Curriculum.

UVQF: Assessment and Training Package (ATP) for an AEROBICS PRACTITIONER
QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 December 2020
Executive Summary
This Assessment and Training Package is a Competence-Based Education and
Training (CBET) tool and consists of three major parts:
0.2 PART II: Training Modules in the form of guidelines to train Aerobics
Practitioners both on the job as well as in training centres (or combinations
of both venues of learning). The Training Modules herein have been
reviewed basing on the Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant
for employment.
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.
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
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 centres
as well as companies can accommodate more learners 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, a group of modules or all modules pertaining to the occupation at
once. This achievement will facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

in the occupation and hence issued in different versions.

Task Job tasks represent the smallest unit of job activities with a
meaningful outcome. Tasks result in a product, service, or

Occupational Profile for an AEROBICS
PRACTITIONER
1.1 The OCCUPATIONAL PROFILE (OP) for “AEROBICS PRACTITIONER”
below defines the Duties and Tasks a competent AEROBICS
PRACTITIONER is expected to perform in the world of work (on the job) in
Uganda and the East African region today.
1.2 Since it reflects the skill requirements of work life, the Occupational Profile
is the reference document for the subsequent development of training
modules and assessment instruments (test items) which are directly
relevant to employment in Ugandan and the East African businesses and
industries.

2.1 A curriculum is a “guide /plan for teaching and learning” which provides a
guide to teachers, instructors and learners. In the envisaged system of
competence-based or outcome-oriented education and training (CBET),
curricular are no longer the benchmark against which assessment is
conducted. It is rather the Occupational Profile that provides the
benchmark for curriculum development as well as assessment.
2.3 The modules were developed jointly by both instructors and job
practitioners. They were developed using the Occupational Profile as a
reference point and taking into account the specifications of training and
learning outcomes.
LWAs are simulated or real job situations/assignments that are suitable for
learning in a training environment (e.g. “small projects”). In a working
environment, LWAs are real work situations.

3.3 Based on the occupational profile and training modules, a combined panel of
job practitioners and instructors developed a substantial number of test
items for assessing (practical) performance as well as items for assessing
occupational knowledge (theory) all stored in an electronic Test Item Bank
(TIB) at the Directorate of Industrial Training.
3.4 Performance (Practical) Test Items (PTI) are closely related to typical work
situations in Ugandan business enterprises. They comprise of a test
assignment for candidates and assessment criteria and/or scoring guides for
assessors’ use.
3.5 Written Test items (WTI) for written testing of occupational theory,
(knowledge) are presented in different forms which include:
Short answer test items,
Multiple choice test items and
Matching test items.
3.7 The test items contained in the Test Item Bank may be used for
continuous/formative assessment during the process of training as well as
for summative assessment of candidates who have acquired their
competences non-formally or informally.
