NBA is currently managing the development of curriculum content and open learning materials for the Occupational Certificate: Electrician Programme (OCEP) for the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). DHET has selected the Occupational Certificate: Electrician programme as the first programme to be developed and delivered through the National Open Learning System (NOLS).
One of the goals of the project is to define a general and broadly applicable practical approach and methodology to designing for and implementing Open Learning programmes within the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector as a possible support strategy for the DHET to meet the targets outlined in the National Development Plan 2030 (NDP).
