The August 2022 National Assessment at RVTC started on the 18th July 2022 and ended on the 25th August 2022.
The assessment results which were expected to be released on the 09th of September 2022 were only released on the 13th of September 2022. A total of 266 trainees applied for assessment, and only 262 trainees have been assessed fully in various trade areas and levels of which, 193 [74%] were found Competent and 69 [26%] Not Yet Competent. Announcing in the results in the staffroom, Ferdinand Malwa who is the Head of Training informed the training staff not to celebrate but to work hard. “The outcome of the results is a challenge that we have to engage in an overdrive, let us not relax now but rather work hard” said Malwa.
With graduation earmarked for 06 October 2022, a lot of trainees have been flocking to the Centre to get their results in order to register for graduation. The training department was happy with the results as they have improved in comparison to March 2022. As the Centre was considered the first in academic performance previously, it slipped slightly from its position. Training department vowed to reclaim the position.
With October/November 2022 assessment around the corner, training department is hard at work aiming to improve the results from 74% to above 90%. Out 266 trainees who applied, 4 couldn’t turn up (3 from Auto Electric and 1 from Boiler Making) for assessment as there were no reasons given. The Curriculum and Assessment Coordinator Hironimus Shilima was happy with the process as there were no hic-ups experienced. “We didn’t face any problems with this assessment from the first day, am also happy with the results as they have improved. We are now ready to reclaim our position to fulfil our slogan as the sought after VTC” added Shilima.
