 FOREWARD

This training standard specifies the practical training that shall be given to apprentices in one of the
occupations categorized for apprenticeship training in accordance with provisions of the National
Apprenticeship Act, No.49 of 1971.

The National Apprenticeship Board was established by the Act to formulate, implement, and
supervise a scheme of training to cover each category of apprentices. In addition, employers are
required, under section 47 of the act, to make suitable arrangements in their establishments for the
practical training of al apprentices under their charge in accordance with training programme
prescribed by the Board. In order to facilitate efficient and effective discharge of these
responsibilities by the Board and employers, the Board established a committee to formulate this
comprehensive scheme and standard of training.

The Committee was made up of representatives of public and private sector employers, trade unions,
Government Departments and the Board, who posses high levels of competency in the work
processes of the occupations or in vocational training. Deliberations of the committee were assisted
by analysis of the work processes in representative establishments, which were performed co-
operatively by technical personnel of the establishments and of the Board. The training standard
therefore, reflects the skill and knowledge that representative’s employers required personnel in the
occupation to possess.

The training standard has been amended by the National Consultant in Electrical Engineering under
the aegis of the UNDP / ILO Apprenticeship Training Project.

This standard will be kept under continuous review and will be further amended as technological
development produces significant changes in skill and knowledge requirements of the occupation.
Nevertheless any suggestions for improvement will be welcomed.

Sincere appreciation is extended and their personnel for generous contributions of technical advice
and assistance and to members of the committee for the diligent exercise of care and effort in the
formulation of this training standard.
