Good day speakers, valued stakeholders, ladies
and gentlemen. It is my privilege to discuss
[17]
this new product of the NTA, the Record of
Achievement (RoA) and how you may access it.
[25]
What is the Record of Achievement? Well
the RoA, is a competency based transcript.
[32]
It shows all the certification attained
by the graduates through Competency-Based
[38]
Training (CBT). In other words, it shows
the graduates demonstrated ability.
[45]
The RoA lists all the Trinidad & Tobago
National Vocational Qualifications, the TTNVQ
[53]
and the Caribbean Vocational Qualifications, the
CVQ, obtained by the graduates at the various
[60]
institutions. It also shows the certification
attained through Prior Learning and Assessment
[68]
Recognition (PLAR). So the experience gained
through only job training and experience
[75]
will be recognized and listed on the Record
of Achievement. The RoA can be accessed on
[84]
the TVET Control Center (TVET CC) which is the
NTA's online database. Upon accessing the RoA
[92]
on the TVET Control Center, the candidates will
be able to provide feedback on the programs that
[100]
they have pursued thus giving them an opportunity
to participate in a structured feedback system.
[108]
This information will be used to inform program
development. The Record of Achievement shows the
[117]
candidate's name and their unique number. There's
a summary statement that says that the Transcript
[124]
shows the full qualifications and units
awarded to the candidate. You will see the
[131]
type of qualifications attained whether a TTNVQ or
CVQ. Also the qualifications by occupational area
[140]
will be listed. In this sample it
is Building Construction, Drafting
[146]
Fabrication and Customer Service. The
level of the qualification is also stated.
[154]
You will also be able to see the institution
where the graduates pursue the program. It is
[160]
possible for a candidate to begin a program at one
institution and complete the full qualification
[167]
at another institution. So the institution
where the graduate attain full award will be
[173]
indicated. And finally the date the award was
given whether it was a unit award or full award
[181]
will be stated. The second part of the RoA shows
the qualifications attained, clustered by sectors.
[189]
So in this sample the three (3) qualifications
fall into the Construction, Business Services,
[197]
Communication, ICT and Engineering sectors.
The ROA when downloaded will have a time stamp.
[207]
The Record of achievement is available to the
graduates in two (2) forms. The first (1st) is
[214]
where they can go directly onto the Record of
Achievement platform and download it. This will
[220]
be in a PDF format and the candidates are able to
save it or print it or send it to an interested
[227]
third party. There will be no cost attached to
this version and there will be a watermark that
[234]
says "Unofficial Copy". The second (2nd) option
is to request a copy of the ROA from the National
[241]
Training Agency. The NTA seal will go on this copy
and the RoA will be sent directly to the employer
[249]
when a graduate is seeking employment or
the training institution where the graduate
[254]
is seeking enrollment. There will be a cost
consideration of $150 TT dollars per transcript.
[263]
As I mentioned earlier the Record of Achievement
will provide a mechanism for feedback from the
[268]
graduates. So the graduates will be required
to answer some labour market information
[274]
when seeking to access the record of
achievement. The information will be in
[279]
form of a questionnaire and there will be five (5)
questions in sequential order. Upon logging into
[285]
one's account to access the RoA, the candidates
will be prompted to respond to these questions.
[292]
Questions will change from time to time however
graduates will only be prompted to answer the
[297]
question if they have changed from the last
time that they they access the RoA platform.
[304]
The advantages of using this instrument
is that the questions are standardised
[309]
and the data will be easy to collect and
collate thus giving real time data. After
[316]
the graduates have answered the questions they
can then proceed to the Record of Achievement.
[322]
You will now see a demonstration on how to
access the Record of Achievement on the TVET
[327]
Control Centre (TVET CC). To access your record of
achievement go to ntatvetcentre.org and login to
[333]
your candidate account. On your candidate portal
page, click Record of Achievement. Scroll down
[338]
and click the print Record of Achievement button.
Your Record of Achievement PDF file will download.
[344]
What are the benefits that the graduates can
derive from the Record of Achievement? First
[350]
and foremost it will support the graduates’ job
search by having their qualifications attained at
[357]
various Institutions as well as through Prior
Learning and Assessment Recognition (PLAR) in
[362]
one document. So the employers can now have
a holistic view of the graduate’s ability.
[370]
The ROA will also encourage the graduates to take
responsibility for their own development and
[377]
promote lifelong learning. The ROA will display
the Graduates qualifications in the various
[384]
sector grouping, thus showing the broad scope of
their competence and it also gives a comprehensive
[393]
list of all the training Institution(s) that
awarded those qualification(s). Employers can
[399]
also benefit from the Record of Achievement
(RoA) because it makes recruitment easier
[404]
for them by saving on time and costs. Upon
looking at the graduate’s application they
[411]
will immediately see a snapshot of the graduates
qualifications. Employers can also use the RoA
[420]
that is attached to the graduate’s application
when screening and shortlisting applicants for
[425]
interviews. Employers can receive a
copy of the RoA directly from the NTA
[432]
for their official records when selecting the
candidate for the job and be assured that the
[438]
Record of Achievement (RoA) has been validated
by us; so that they no longer have to dedicate
[444]
resources to verify and validate several
certificates awarded at various institutions.
[454]
Institutions also benefit from the Record of
Achievement (RoA) when candidates are enrolling
[458]
into programmes at a higher level. They can
obtain this competency transcript directly
[464]
from the NTA. It is envisioned that the Record of
Achievement (RoA) will provide the graduates with
[471]
a valuable tool when seeking to further
their training, earn gainful employment
[478]
as well as engage in lifelong learning. The
National Training Agency is looking forward to
[486]
engaging with these graduates at this new level to
inform TVET decisions and to impact on a certified
[494]
and competent workforce. So now that you are
certified allow the Record of Achievement (RoA) to
[501]
help you navigate through your future endeavors.
So we encourage you to go on to the TVET Control
[508]
Center (TVET CC) at ntatt.org and start using the
record of achievement. Good luck to all of you.
