CBET / CBC in the EduPrime: Competency-based education and training assessment records

A unit of competency, not a subject with a mark

Each unit carries its code, its NQF level, its nominal hours and its credit value — the four things a qualifications authority asks for. NITA/HBT/L4/U1, RTQF/WFB/L5/U2, TVETA/ICT/L6/U3: the codes are the regulator’s, not ours. Elements and their performance criteria hang off the unit, so what a candidate must demonstrate is written down before anyone is assessed against it, and the unit points back at the published unit standard it came from.

Every claim of competence, backed by something

An evidence portfolio per candidate per unit: what was produced, when, by whom, and whether it has been verified. Photographs of finished work, observation records, third-party reports, products, written tests — whatever your sector accepts. The assessment reads from the portfolio rather than replacing it, so when an external verifier asks how you reached a judgement, the answer is a list of artefacts, not a recollection.

Competent, or not yet competent

The assessment records the judgement against the unit’s criteria, the assessor who made it, the date, and the evidence it rested on. There is no mark out of a hundred to argue about and no average to hide behind: a candidate is competent against this unit or is not yet, and the record says which criteria are still outstanding. Re-assessment is a new record, so the history of attempts survives.

The sector body’s standard, seeded and linked

Unit standards arrive with the app for NITA, RTB and TVETA, each with its performance criteria already loaded. Map your units of competency to them once and every assessment, every certificate and every return afterwards speaks the regulator’s vocabulary. When a body republishes a standard, the mapping is the only thing you revisit.

Industrial attachment, on the record

The workplace attachment names the host employer, the dates, the supervising trainer and the units it is meant to cover. Competence demonstrated on an employer’s premises is recorded against the same candidate and the same unit as competence demonstrated in the workshop, so the portfolio is one portfolio.

Only a qualified assessor signs a unit off

Trainer qualifications are held with their currency and expiry dates, so the question “was this person qualified to assess that unit on that date?” has an answer. It is the question external verification asks first, and the one colleges most often cannot answer from a filing cabinet.
