CURRICULUM AND MODULE SPECIFICATIONS

General Information

Leather Craft

AIM

To give training and impart the necessary skills leading to the production of craftsmen and other skilled personnel who will be

enterprising and self-reliant.

ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS

Craft Programme

Candidates must not be less than 14 years of age and should have successfully completed three years of Junior Secondary education or

its equivalent. Special consideration may be given to sponsored candidates with lower academic qualifications who hold trade test

certificates and are capable of benefiting from the programme.

Advanced Craft Programme

Candidates should possess the National Technical Certificate (NTC), Trade Test Grade II or its equivalent and should have had a

minimum of one year post qualification cognate industrial experience.

The Curriculum

The Curriculum of each programme is broadly divided into three components:

a. General Education, which accounts for 30% of the total hours required for the programme.

b. Trade Theory, Trade Practice and Related Studies which account for 65% and

c. Supervised Industrial Training/Work Experience, which accounts for about 5% of the total hours required for the programme.

3

This component of the course which may be taken in industry or in the College production unit is compulsory for the full-time

students.

Included in the curriculum are the teacher’s activity and learning resources required for the guidance of the teacher.

Unit Course/Modules

A Course/Module is defined as a body of knowledge and skills capable of being utilized on its own or as a foundation or pre-requisite

knowledge for more advanced work in the same or other fields of study. Each unit when successfully completed can be used for

employment purposes.

Behavioral Objectives

These are educational objectives, which identify precisely the type of behavior a student should exhibit at the end of a course/module or

programme. Two types of behavioral objectives have been used in the curriculum. They are:

a. General Objectives

b. Specific learning outcomes

General objectives are concise but general statements of the behavior of the students on completion of a unit of the week such as

understanding the principles and application in:

a. Orthographic projection in engineering/technical drawing;

b. Loci in Mathematics

c. Basic concepts of politics and government in Political Science

d. Demand and supply in Economics

Specific learning outcomes are concise statements of the specific behavior expressed in units of discrete practical tasks and related

knowledge the students should demonstrate as a result of the educational process to ascertain that the general objectives of

course/programme have been achieved. They are more discrete and measurable expressions of the scope of the tasks contained in a

teaching unit.

4

General Education in Technical Colleges

The General Education component of the curriculum aims at providing the trainee with complete secondary education in critical subjects

like English Language, Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Entrepreneurial Studies and Mathematics to enhance the understanding

of machines, tools and materials of their trades and their application as a foundation for post-secondary technical education for the above

average trainee. Hence, it is hoped that trainees who successfully complete their trade and general education may be able to compete

with their secondary school counterparts for direct entry into the Polytechnics, Innovation Enterprise Institutions (IEI) or Colleges of

Education (Technical) for ND, NID or NCE courses respectively.

For the purpose of certification, only the first three courses in mathematics will be required. The remaining modules are optional and

are designed for the above average students.

National Certification

The NTC and ANTC programmes are run by Technical Colleges accredited by NBTE.

NABTEB conducts the final national examination and awards certificates.

Trainees who successfully complete all the courses/modules specified in the curriculum table and passed the national examinations in

the trade will be awarded one of the following certificates:

S/NO LEVEL CERTIFICATE

Technical Programme

1. Craft Level National Technical Certificate (NTC)

2. Advanced Craft Level Advanced National Technical Certificate

(ANTC)

Guidance Notes for Teachers Implementing the Curriculum

The number of hours stated in the curriculum table may be increased or decreased to suit individual institutions’ timetable provided

the entire course content is properly covered and the goals and objectives of each module are achieved at the end of the term.

5

The maximum duration of any module in the new scheme is 300 hours. This means that for a term of 15 weeks, the course should be

offered for 20 hours a week. This can be scheduled in sessions of 4 hours in a day leaving the remaining hours for general education.

However, properly organized and if there are adequate resources, most of these courses can be offered in two sessions a day, one in

the morning and the other one in the afternoon. In so doing, some of these programmes may be completed in lesser number of years

than at present.

The sessions of 4 hours include the trade theory and practice. It is left to the teacher to decide when the class should be held in the

workshop or in a lecture room.

Integrated Approach for Teaching Trade Theory, Trade Science and Trade Calculation

The traditional approach of teaching trade science and trade calculation as separate and distinct subjects in Technical College

programmes is not relevant to the new programme as it will amount to a duplication of the teaching of mathematics and physical

science subjects in the course. The basic concepts and principles in mathematics and physical science are the same as in the trade

calculation and trade science. In the new scheme therefore, qualified persons in these fields will teach mathematics and physical

science and the instructors will apply the principles and concepts in solving trade science and calculation problems in the trade theory

classes. To this end, efforts have been made to ensure that mathematics and science modules required to be able to solve technical

problems were taken as pre-requisite to the trade module.

Evaluation of Programme/Module

For the programme to achieve its objectives, any course started at the beginning of a term must terminate at the end of the term.

Instructors should therefore devise methods of accurately assessing the trainees to enable them give the student’s final grades at the

end of the term. A national examination will be taken by all students who have successfully completed their modules. The final award

will be based on the aggregate of the scores attained in the course work and the national examination.
