ESIS Curicula
All ESIS curricula are prepared as per NACTVET regulations and standards. ESIS through qualified consultant conducts Situational Analysis followed by writing a Situational Analysis report and then conducts Consultative workshop to bring together relevant stakeholders in the industry on question together to discuss and fine-tune the curricula draft. All stakeholders’ contributions and suggestions are incorporated to develop fine tuned curricula. The three documents, i.e. The Situational Analysis report, The Consultative workshop report and the curricula are all submitted to NACTE for validation.
